I had a Medtronic spinal implant stimulator inplamted in
12-07. I got some relief from the pain in my leg but it
never did work on my back. The battery charger implanted
in my side came lose and was starting to flip over
internally causing much pain and discomfort. This week I
had surgery for the Dr. to go back in and re-stitch the
battery pack. He put mesh in this time to hold it in
place (why didn't he do that the first time). Is this
common? This was and still is a painful surgery that if
was done correctly the first time I shouldn't have had to
go through this again. Has anyone ever had this happen?
