Hi Everyone!

I have had back pain for 5 years and recently had a SCS implanted. It was working well, but now I am feeling sensation (violent muscle clamps on my abdomen) where it shouldn't be. The rep tried to re-program, but only gave me many of these muscle clamps (not cramps. This is much bigger).

She had a floro. xray done and the leads looked in the right place. The dr. now wants to have a regular xray done. The level it was implanted at should not allow any sensations in my abdomin at all.

I heard the word "revision" and can guess what this means. Are revisions like the original surgery? The rep said they would have to open both scars again.

I am a bit down right now because it was working really great for 3 weeks, and I then began to get the vibrations in my ribs. I went for reprogramming then, and the rep was able to redirect the sensation back to where it should be (on the back of me, not the front...and down lower on my back).

Anybody have the above experience, or have had revisions and can explain how extensive that might be?

Thank you all for being here!

Susan
