Re: New with a question about implanted stimulator

[Guest guest]

Hi Kathy,

I had a Medtronic neurostimulator implanted 2 years ago. The test period went

very well. However, the surgery was very invasive. Not at all as was represented

to me from their (Medtronic's) representative.

The first 3 months went quite well but, as the leads began to settle in my spine

the effectiveness became less and less. I rarely use it now.

The battery is very uncomfortable, for me.

I would be happy to provide details directly, but am not comfortable doing so in

open forum.

Please email me directly for any additional information you would like.

with gentle hugs,
