Ask the rep about existing claims at the FDA. Some EU countries have more stringent public reporting and it’s easier to search. I had serious complications with the implant surgery, but I’d do it again. I can control each independently or as a group. The awesome spinal DRG implant I have, has three leads in my lumbar spine. I recommend you not consider this option. The peripheral implants with external controllers were beyond worthless. I’ve had two peripheral stimulation implants and now have a Abbott/St Judes Medical - Proclaim DRG. I know how much we all need relief, so it's hard sharing such mixed results, but a lot of reps and doctors make it feel like it's our only choice to proceed. My situation isn't common, but it is a reminder that everything we do has a risk to make us even worse than before. It is however responsible for the lingering burning across the interior. I want to make it clear that my pain is not only the stimulator's fault, but it only delayed the inevitable nerve ablations since my problems are structural. Since then I've had several ablations, a fancy new TENs unit, and no long term relief. Now in days, that nerve hurts so much I casually elbow it to get a few minutes relief.Īlso I had a special device with curled (like a spring) electrodes to help prevent infection, because apparently shifting and infection are common enough with straight electrodes that they wanted me to call immediately if something happened, so i assume the risk for a spinal stimulator is significantly higher. Got it to 4 while my other side was up to 37 (/50). I told them (doctor and sales rep) it hurt, so much so that I couldn't turn on the device on the interior nerve until they informed me i needed to for any continuing tests. But they also did permanent damage to the second nerve we went after (front of the leg, branching nerves that lead to the outside and inside of the hip/leg down towards the knee, interior was damaged). It lowered the pain noticeably for about 3 weeks after. Not exactly the same here but I have some experience - had an electrical stimulator in my hip implanted for a month.
