Hi All -

I had two spinal cord stimulators implanted at the end of June 2011, cervical and thoracic. A week and a half ago I had the percutaneous leads in my lower back replaced with paddle leads because of migration and pain. When the first leads migrated, I started feeling this incredible amount of pressure in my lower back when the stim was on.

Now, I am feeling pressure in my lower back again. It is different as in more to the left (up and down) instead of across the lower back (side to side), but it is there and keeping me from getting good relief from the stim.

Here is my question - has anyone else experienced this or anything like it? The doctor and St Jude rep are both at a loss trying to figure this one out....

Thanks for any suggestions and your time!
