I have had severe migraines, pain at the lead sight, BS rep
unable to reach my pain areas and told me I need to just "deal"
with the residual stimulation pain from the stimulation in my
ribs(which is supposed to be in my low back), have had
increased Leg pain, weakness, foot drop, since the implant,
I "Begged my Dr. to remove the system because they can
not "reach/cover" my pain area's and because it is painful at
the electrode sight and battery site. I am scheduled to have
the system removed next month "Thank Goodness".
