NeuroTalk Support Groups - Boston Scientific SCS problems

Hi,
My name is Erez, I'm 28 years old. I've been suffering from chronic pain since I was about 14 – first at my left wrist and currently all along my left arm, left side of my back and shoulder.
Three years ago I was diagnosed with CRPS Type II (after previous diagnosis of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome and multiple surgeries that have just made things worse).
I went through all the "regular" treatments without any luck – a year and a half ago I was prescribed medical cannabis which helps but isn't a cure of course. Finally 8 months ago I had a Spinal Cord Stimulator surgery (Boston Scientific – Precision Plus). The SCS helped from the very beginning, and helped to bring down the pain. Unfortunately 4 months after my surgery that SCS stopped working, and according to my Dr. the electrode was the fault (4 out of the 8 poles were disconnected) – I went through another surgery, in which they replaced the faulty electrode and the SCS "came back to life". A month after this surgery I started having similar problems (now 2 out of the 8 poles seem disconnected). My Dr. wants to perform another surgery to fix this problem, but I really don't think that having surgery every other month is the right way… I wanted to know if by any chance anyone had any similar SCS problems.
Thanks in advance,
Erez
