Spinal Stimulator Question

[Guest guest]

Hi

I had a spinal stimulator implanted last April for cervical issues. All has been

going fine except now the place in my right hip next to the stimulator has been

hurting. Started out just when I was out walking and exercising but now the hip

and area around the stimulator hurts. Anyone ever hear of this.. Not sure what

has happened but it almost feels like the battery of the stimulator is lower

than when it was implanted.

That is possible, my unit is  up in the back muscle. I still get Muscle spasms

and was told it was from the implant . 

 

Here is a pic of my implant , the lower bandage is the unit , the upper bandage

is the  wire/paddle placement .
