The MD's are saying not related to scs so this is not being reported to FDA/medwatch.
The MD's won't remove scs and other MD's don't want to remove scs that they didn't implant.
Has this ever happened to anyone...wanted your permanent implant removed and your doctor would not remove it?
Also, it seems common that the trial works great for many but the permanent implant does not offer that same results. I wonder what the % is of this happening? If I was told I could have nausea and vomiting everyday after scs implant...or develop fibromyalgia from it...it would make me think twice before agreeing. Hard to make informed decision when I don't think I have all facts. Any thoughts are appreciated.
