I'm so sorry and I know the frustration you must be going through. Personally, I do not regret at all going back for the second surgery to move my leads down, because I'm much better off now. I still had the stimulation in my legs where I needed it, but then I, too, developed it in the stomach/back area which was extremely uncomfortable and stronger in that area than in my legs. My leads didn't move, and my doctor still doesn't know what happened to cause it. In the OR, he kept moving them down little by little and had the rep ask me where I felt it. It took awhile before it was out of my stomach and even then still the top half of the leads have it there, so they had to set up the programming on the bottom half. My doctor was very surprised by how much they had to be moved, I think it was from T3/T4 to T8/T9 if I remember right. But you shouldn't have to live with being uncomfortable like that
