I had a Medtronic spinal cord stimulator installed a little
over a year ago. I have had nothing but problems and my
battery pack is petruding and you can see it and feel it on
my front side. The doctor bugged me for a year to have this
put in telling me I would be a great candidate for this and
I would be able to get off my pain medication if I had this
installed and I would be able to go back to work and do
other things I could not do because of the pain. Now I am
unable to get an appointment with medtronics representative
to get reprogramming, my battery will not recharge, and it
feels like something is stabbing me in my back constantly
where the leads are. The doctor tells me that my body is
just used to the machine that is why it does not work. If
anyone can get an attorney to help I would be willing to
join in the lawsuit as well. I am now living with nerve
damage and in constant pain since the doctor will not even
take the machine out of me.
