I have a SCS from Boston Scientific also I have pain a the
implant site also . It has been since I had the system
tested. I was getting shocks in my back when the SCS was
first placed in 2007. Then in 2008 one year later the SCS
stimulation would stop and start with a jolt frequently. It
took me 9 months to get anybody to listen to me in the mean
time I lost my job due to the increase in pain. Since the
last surgery the incision site can be very tender especially
if I hit it when sitting down. I hope this helped and hope
you are feeling better soon.
