This is an old post. Got me!!!
I'm scheduled to see a representative from the same company that implanted your stimulator. I'm going to print this post and see what he/she thinks and says about it. I must admit it doesn't make me that encouraged to go ahead with the stimulator test at all! I wish you the best .

My Father had his Advanced Bionics Precision Stimulator removed due to the same symptoms. They tried to reprogram the device and to discourage the removal at nearly all cost. There is something going on with these internal implant stimulaters that the medical community does not want to get out. My Father has had no further JOLTS in is back but the pain remains where the incision site is. This is one of the worst ideas in pain relief they have ever come up with. Do you have any recall information on other stimulater recalls besides the St Jude ones?
Hi Tina,
Welcome to the Pain Management Forum. I am very sorry to hear about the problems you have had with your SCS. I do not know the details and precision operation of the Stimulator. I have heard about many undesirable effects/issues on this forum.
I do not have any personal experience with the device.When I have done research on the internet regarding the device there are many complications and problems listed that have caused me concern and I would not consider an implant.
According th the information that I have obtained through all the reading/research I have done it sounds to me that your SCS is not functioning properly. I suggest that you return to the practitioner that is responsible for the device and insist that it be corrected until it is functioning as intended. We all must be our own pain management advocate and I encourage you to be assertive and have the issue resolved.
I'm sorry I cannot offer personal advice and I apologize my response to you is tardy. My parents have been very ill the last several days. Best of luck to you. Please let us know how you are doing. I hope you will become an active member of our community. Your experience will SCS would benefit other members and I am confident that in exchange you will find support and friends. I'll look forward to your updates.
Take Care,
Tuck
