Hi ~ You CAN have a CT scan with a stimulator, so perhaps that would show something. At least I've been told you can have that done with the stimulator.

I had the stimulator for 6 months, until I developed problems, and it had to be removed. I also have permanent nerve damage in my right leg.

I agree that you should be re-evaluated, perhaps by another Neurosurgeon. I think some new tests need to be run. Sounds like something might be going on, but I don't know what. Best of luck, and let us know what happens, ok? God bless and take care. Hugs, Lee
