Cathy, I am FASCINATED by your post. And by that I don't mean to insult you, honestly something very similar happened to me. I was implanted Dec 10 of '08 was unbelievably careful and 10 days after surgery the leads slipped. I was in such bad shape from what the surgery did to me, I couldn't have another for a while. But months later, after I turned off the device because the battery was electrocuting me 24/7, I noticed I'd feel stim sensations and the battery would be draining...even though it was 100% off. I too had an xray and at that point the leads had slipped so low that they were causing the battery to turn on (they were literally the same height as the battery-having fallen inches). End of story, the whole thing was useless and an awful experience. I was implanted with ANS last week. So far, pretty good!
