Default SCS implant pain at site

Hey y'all, well i am here seeking some help. I have CRPS Type II, 4 years ago i got a SCS implant in my back, right below the belt line. it worked wonders..all issues stopped. i was happy. Well a year ago the thing stopped working, went to my trusty doc and they found that one of the leads had freyed. so they had to replace the wires, my doctor also felt the need to readjust the actual implant. He moved it down into a new pocket.

Everything was great..the placement of the wires was phenominal..however its been about a year since the adjustment and i keep getting severe pains in the pocket area. its at the very right tip of the generator and goes diagnally down about an inch. It feels like when you get skin zipped in a zipper and you just keep trying to pull the skin out, very annoying pain. It takes several days to actually stop. then it comes back.

the scs still works great no issues there, no changes in the pocket pain when its off or on, i dont knwo what it is.

Has anyone else had something similar.
