I have read some of the comments relating to the
Medtronics Spinal Cord Stimulator and am suprized so many
had the same type shock.

I have had surgery at L3, L4, L5, S1 with my bone used for
grafting and 6 pedical screws plates and rods the
operation was a bit over 10 hours long.

So later I opted for the stimulator one in my hip and one
under my right arm. I was at our shop one afternoon
standing at the front counter when I turned the unit on
and the shock I received was so severe it threw me two to
three feet of the ground and backwards 11 feet when I hit
one of the metal parts shelf and when I came around my
sister was already kneeling next to me in tears looking me
over as she said it looked like someone had shot me
throughthe plate glass windows due to the force I left the
floor backward.
That hurt so bad and I have never trusted the device
since. My doctor did have me come in for an x-ray as he
said people who have this happen can crack a bone(s).
To date I still have the implant but never use it.
