I also have a medtronic stimulator. It was implanted in Feb 2011, revision surgery in June 2011. I swear it causes more pain. The doctors are looking at me like I'm crazy. The reps aren't giving me any answers. They keep telling me to leave it on at a low level where I can't feel it so that my nerves will accept the sensation. But every time I turn it on, even when I can't feel it, my RSD flares up. I'm terrified. I have no idea what to do. This is the first time that I've heard other people say it makes their RSD worse. I have only met one other person, through a support group, that has the same issue. What the heck???? What is this thing doing to me???
