Post: ans stimulator for pain

Posted by donna on 3/28/08

I had the ans implant in buttocks in Dec. I knew right away
something was wrong. My stomach area, private area and each
leg is seperate and the other one always goes just as
strong as the bad leg stimuklates. It all goes at same
time. I have been nauesated since Dec. First they said I
had stomach flu, cause I could not stop hurling. Then they
have really tried to program it a lot but does not stop
unwanted stimulation. It works to stop my severe pain in
left leg but to get any relief at all down leg and toe I
have to run the ans system on high for a while and of
course I am sick again, wanting to lay down all the time
and throwing up. My original pain Dr. did my trail and it
did not do this. Another DR. put in the permanant implant.
At first they kept telling me there was no was I could feel
stimulation where I was not too. I am supposed to have a
surgery to maybe move the wires further apart or shorten or
something like that if my ins will cover it. I am glad I
found this site Please let me know if you have had the
simulars unwanted stimulation.
