I have an ANS Spinal Cord Stimulator. The first one was
installed in May 2009, three months later it flipped over
and stopped working. They said it was because I lost weight
that it flipped, so I had it replaced in August with a unit
that doesn't have to be recharged. About a week after it
was installed my back and my right side of my buttock has
been feeling unbearably hot. The Pain Mgt group is telling
me it's not from the stimulator and that everything with the
device is fine so they put me on high dose CIPRO for 3 weeks
even though the Tagged WBC scan did not show an infection.
I saw the surgeon's PA and they want me to stay on the CIPRO
for the 3 weeks and then if it doesn't clear up they will
take it out on 11/23. Does this sound familiar to anyone
else? Do I really have to wait that long? It hurts and I
can't sleep more than 3 hours at a time... Any suggestions?
