    Carolina,
    I thought I was the only one with this experience. I too,
    had the stimulator removed because it did not work. I too,
    have the most unbearable pain in my hip. Pain I attribute
    to the stimulator. I have latex allergies and was not made
    aware that the stimulator was coated in latex. I had to
    wait 30 minutes longer to have the implant so the surgical
    room could be cleared of all latex particles from the
    previous surgery as a matter of hospital protocol. Then
    they implant me with latex! Unbelievable!
    The doctor's office and staff never told me how invasive the
    implant procedure was. I did not even know I had two rather
    large stapled incisions until after I was home. What a
    mess! The incisions hurt to this day.
    I feel that I was duped. I was so desperate to be off of
    the pain medication, but I never bargained for this. I let
    the doctor know immediately that the implanted stimulator
    was not working correctly. It took 7 months for them to
    remove it, although they put it in less than two weeks after
    my initial appointment.
    I am the 41 year old Mother of a beautiful 4 year old girl.
    This has really presented a challenge to say the least. If
    there is legal recourse I want to be a part of it.
