Confused Hi All....Spinal Cord Stimulators

Hi...I haven't been on here in what seems like forever. I hope everyone is doing pretty good....I know it's difficult to do "real" good with PN!
I worked all last school year and then had to have a new IV port for my IVIG infusion put in because the old went went Kaput....that was in June. Three weeks ago I had surgery and had the upper and lower Spinal Cord Stimulators put in because my PN pain has gotten SOOOO bad.
The Stimlators seem to be covering my PN pain pretty well BUT where the paddle is...in the back of my neck hasn't healed yet and the pain from that is TERRIBLE! The surgeon had to stretch the skin on my neck so it would cover the paddle of wires and that's made the nerves in my neck Very sensitive and painful. Has anyone had the stimulators put in and had problems like these I've mentioned?? I'm off work right now....FMLA for another cpl weeks...hopefully I'll be much better by then..........Roxie
