I originally had my SCS placed in 1998, I had the battery
changed in 2001. The second battery ran out in February
2008. My physician suggested we change my system to a re-
chargable batery. The connectors and battery were replaced
leaving the orignal leads in my spinal colummn.
When the medtronics reps programmed my battery in recovery
I felt no stimulation I only felt shocks in my abdomen.
The medtronics reps tried two more times to program the
battery I only felt shocks in my abdomen.
My physician wants to replace the leads in my spinal
columnn. After reading all these posts I realized the re-
chargable system is faulty it should be taken off the
market.
