Default My Dr. wants to remove Stim & replant.
I haven't been on here in quite awhile, but i have a need for advice. I recieved my stim in April of this year. After about 2 months it quit working. The dr. did x-rays of my back to check for migration of the leads, but turned out there was none.

He wants to remove the whole device & start over from scratch. another idea he wants to try, is to take out the battery & position it down about 6 inches. This is not the same dr who did the initial surgery, he left the state...

Does this sound reasonable to you? Or is he going after some more $? thanks,

jan
