Had Boston Scientific Stimulator trial and it went well. Had
implant 4/12/10. I have been having problems for the last
year. With each passing month the issues get worse and worse.
My research brought me here. I have complained and complained
to Boston Scientific and my pain management doctor they set up
appt. with Boston Scientific and again I get no where. My
problem is my stimulator runs 24/7 at 100% usage. It runs all
the time at the strongest setting and I have to charge twice a
day or have the charger belt on more than off. I can barely
feel it working. THey download information and say it looks
fine. I am so exhausted with this thing I just want it out of
me. Been a HUGE disappointment in helping with my pain. It's
become a nighbmare and the more I complain to the people that
sold me on this system I get no where or hear this is normal.
All I know is I have this device and I don't feel it anymore
working and charge it all the time, and I can't feel the thing
doing anything. I feel it a lil bit when it kicks back on which
lasts all but a few seconds and then just a low low can hardly
feel it working. All information I have looked at and discussed
with Boston Scientific they say this is normal and the battery
is supposed to last forever. The area the put the battery is
still tender, I can't lay on my right side to sleep. Ridicilous
someone needs to help us people. Please email me with any
information who to start complaining to: My name is Trish Todd,
from Columbia, South Carolina, my email is
trishtodd@windstream.net. Thank you
