I recieved the implant in June , now I'm having bad cramps and stuff at night where they ran the lead down . Anyone experience this pain with the stim ?
It only really bothers me when I'm in bed or laying down. It seems this is the only draw back I have on it .

Thanks :)

I've had the scs for 4 months and I haven't had problems like yours. Is it possible the leaRAB have moved? It's my understanding this can happen even after you have had it for sometime. How does it work other wise? Did it help reduce your meRAB? I'm going through trying to find how much meRAB I need. Pm reduced my avinza from 90 to 60mg and then had to raise it back up as I was in so much pain.

Have you told your doc about this. They should be able to x-ray your back to tell if leaRAB have moved.

Good Luck
 
Ouch buddy! I hope that you have not had a lead slip? When do you see the doctor next?
 
Shawley, so sorry that you are having problems...it was so nice that you were having such reduced pain, and out living life. Hopefully it will be just something that neeRAB a minor adjustment. Keeping my fingers crossed for you...

Shawley, i don't like to hear stories like this... you were doing so well and now problems again?
What did your Doc tell you? Did you see him? Maybe it neeRAB to be adjust again?
I wish i could help you, my friend, but i don't know how...
All the best to you, please let us know what is going on.

You should be scarred in, but things can still change six months out.

You need to call your programmer. He/she may be familiar with what you're experiencing and know right away what's going on.
 
Howdy folks :)

Actually I'm doing gr8 still .. Just this nagging pain along my back sides of my spine.. Feels like a muscle spasm and it only bothers me at night , when I need sleep . :(

Randy , I don't need as many pain killers anymore..the stim has helped my pain .. But standing or walking still causes me pain.. But the stim has left me to be able to deal with it now when I'm relaxing , before tha pain was constant. I don't think I pulled my lead ? I'll find out in 15 days when I go for more injections. I hardly use my stim anymore , only if I have been walking or standing to long . Thanks for your posts
