Hey there! My doctor sent me for a series of x-rays and did a physical examination on the battery site (you can feel that it is twisted). You cannot have an MRI when you have spinal cord stimulators. I don't understand why your doctor will not send you for x-rays, it is really the only way to see where the leads are. I have read a lot of posts on here about doctors refusing to send patients for x-rays. I don't get it?? You know your body better than anyone and your doctor should listen to you! I know I could tell something was wrong, thankfully my doctor listened, because I was right!
I think you definitely need to get in with your doctor soon and keep calling the rep until he/she calls you back. You need to be assertive with the doctor. I think you really need to look for a new doctor too!
Good luck!
Nanc
