My mom recently had a medtronics cervical SCS implanted. Initially, she had a good result and it relieved some of her neck pain. However, after the hustle and bustle of Thanksgiving, she is now feeling random and sudden "zaps".

I've been reading online about possible causes of these spontaneous shocks and the general consensus seems to be that the leads could either be damaged of migrated. She has actually gone in to her doc and had xrays done. He states he cannot find any problem with the leads and wants to remove the SCS completely. It makes me feel like he's sold the system and been paid for the surg and now doesn't want to deal with it anymore.

She doesn't want it removed and feels that it was helping her before the recent change. I believe she has even had it reprogrammed and it still isn't working properly.

Any suggestions?
