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.
