Problems w/ Medtronic SCS - Suggestions Welcome!
29-yr sufferer of chronic pain in left leg/foot. Had a Medtronic SCS w/paddle lead implanted 10/22/14. It was activated 1 wk post-op & worked great for the first week (80% reduction in pain). Since then I've had nothing but problems with it. The stimulation hasn't seemed to change much but no longer getting very much relief & now have some numbness & weakness in leg & foot. Had it reprogrammed 11/25/14 but no success. Also, my pain is amplified whenever I turn SCS off - worse than before SCS. Had to increase meds & now walk w/a cane just to exist. Having it reprogrammed again on 12/18/14. Does this sound familiar to anyone here and does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
