I have been in the medical feild all of my life.
That all changed after getting a spinal cord
stimulator.My unit was working well on the trial
but one of the two leads weren"t working. When I
had a revision in 2004 neither worked. I know
have a unit in me that I cant get taken out the
battery pack feels like I am laying or sitting
on a wallet.I can Never have a MRI again and
have more pain then when metronics pushed this
thing. Why would there be a person in the O.R.
that was not scrubbed in but had a say on
how,where and what to do with it. ANYONE having
this done I would really advise against it. I
have more pain,less sleep and decreased quality
of life. I also can not get this taken out and
the medtronic rep.was "scheduled to program
someone elses to program. She did say that "she
feels bad that it didnt work out for me" that
makes the last 8 plus years of pain,trouble
sitting,sleeping and the total disability so
much better.
