Hi Betty!
 

Welcome to the forum! :hug:
How very heartbreaking this is to read. I'm so sorry about all of this.
You certainly should be enjoying your golden years, but this has thrown quite a wrench in things.
Don't lose hope tho, ok. I believe you're gonna end up in the hands of someone who WILL be able to do something about this.
So, your husband is still having this horrible headache even tho the unit has been removed?
I wonder if an MRI would reveal anything.
Does the headache dissipate if he drinks a strong caffeinated beverage and lie flat? Try this. If it helps then I would suspect it is some type of central spinal fluid leak. We have a CSF leak forum here you might want to take a peek at. Here's the link to get you there:

Perhaps a puncture occurred during the SCS implantation. I've heard alot about CSF leaks. There are things that can be done about them.

Our beloved Mark56 will be along shortly to give some good input. He has a Boston Scientific. He also might be able to touch on the legal aspect of this. He knows alot about this stuff.

Please stick around and let us know how this unfolds. :hug:

Out of curiosity, I was wondering if the SCS helped with his leg pain?

I'm glad you found us. The support here never ends.

Caring,
Rae

Hi Betty and Charles
 

It saddens me to read of your horrible result and the hopelessness feeling of being robbed of your Golden Years. I did a Bing browser search on the terms Boston Scientific SCS Class Action and found no indications of litigation regarding SCS although there was much litigation indicated pertinent to stents and ports, surgical mesh, ERISA, stock offerings, and purported patent infringement......

A question which pops to the surface for me is whether you all have ever made an actual appointment with a lawfirm to discuss your options as opposed to telephoning and waiting for a call back. There is a grand difference in the day to day workings of any lawfirm. Appointments are met, telephone calls from prospective clients do not rise to the ethical standard of requiring a ready, timely, or any response and ALL of this understanding the horrific pain which renders Charles imprisoned in home and bed. If an appointment can be made and attained even with the help of trusted friends to assist taking Charles to an initial consultative appointment to determine whether there are causes of action against anyone which could be pursued...... and a big thing to bear in mind is all states have a variety of laws bearing upon timing limitations in which to bring an action seeking to recover relief. The clock has been running on you all for some time now, and the issues are not necessarily limited to the manufacturer, as they may embrace the professionals who were involved in the implant and its removal.

So, obtaining an appointment for a discussion regarding the issues with counsel experienced in the laws bearing upon medical matters is a step forward apart from the placement and waiting for never returned calls from attorneys who do not see you or your husband as clients right now.

Oh, how I hope and pray beyond the stuff of thw words shared above both you and your husband may be able through proper care to receive restorative responses renewing life as you anticipated it.
Prayin here,
