Hi Tara ~ I've had the stimulator, and due to unforeseen problems I had to have it removed.

If I were you, I would go to your stimulator "guy" and have him FIX IT. This is probably what you want to do anyway, right? i see NO reason for you to see a neurologist. I think it's ridiculous to think it's something in your brain! That is absurd. Your stimulator is messed up again from the fall, and undoubtedly the leads have moved. Simple as that.

Please trust your instincts, and do what you think you should. Your stimulator worked great once, and there is no reason for it not to work again. God bless, and let us know how you come out. Hugs, Lee
