Question for anyone out the with a Neurostimulator for chronic back pain

I am new to this but in need of feed back from other people with the same condition.  about 8 months ago I had my first stim trial and after 5 hours they turned it on and my entire body had stimulation except for my low back which is where my pain is.  So 5 moths later my pm said he could try it another way that should work better.  The trial went ok except for when moving at all the leads would move and give me one hell of a shock.  The doctors were excited about how well it worked so we went on with the implant.  In the end of April I had it implanted it seemed to go pretty well.  After a week or two I honestly felt upwards of %70 to %80 percent better.   So I was very excited (as anyone with chronic pain would of been) they slowly took me off the pain meds and everything was great or so I thought.  A week ago about 2 months post surgery a good full month with out pain meds my pain is threw the roof.  It is worse than ever its making me sick, my arms and legs are weak and just trembling and my blood pressure has gone as high as 240/130 it has since come down but its still sitting at 180/100.  I have had ct scans and x-rays the leads havent moved and there doesnt seem to be any infection.  I can tell its on I can feel it I mean both leads are maxed out at 10.5.  All they have been telling me that maybe its because I wasnt using it 24/7 even though I was only told to use it when I was active or with break threw pain.  Running this thing 24/7 and with the leads maxed out I have to recharge this thing just about everyday and I am now back on even more pain meds than before and still in alot of pain.  If this has happend to anyone I would love to hear what helped if anything.  Atleast thanks for listening

Welcome, We have had quite a few postings about stimulators. I had one implanted in 2007 for chronic whole body and back pain due to spasms. I suggest that you use the search feature on this forum and seek out postings related to stimulators. I know in the last 6 months we have had numerous threads we lots of good information. If fact, I just posted a thread on stimulators verses pain pumps. Then if you have aspecific question about stimulators, make aposting about your questions and I am sure people will respond with their experiences. Good luck in finding a pain option that works for you.
