SCS shutting off

Hi all this is my first time on any forum and I feel like I've just found several of my long lost twins! I've had 13 back surgeries and on the last 3 when I had my SCS implanted I was finally diagnosed with adhesive arachnoiditis. I thought yes finally a diagnosis, boy that has turned out to be a big fat joke! My neurosurgeon stopped seeing me because I'm no longer a surgery patient so I just started seeing a pm dr. and she has decided that taking 6lortabs a day is too much and put me on suboxen(which isn't helping at all) and to top all this off my scs just quit working. It's a Boston scientific, the battery shows that it's fully charged so I have no clue. I have a call into my rep it's been 6 days and I haven't heard a word (not happy). I feel like I've been left by everyone (except my wonderful family) so frustrated. Sorry I babbled way too long.

Welcome to HW, this is a wonderful community of caring people. If you havent done an introduction post, that would be helpful so everyone can get to know you.

Sorry to hear about your SCS troubles. Thats inexcusable for them to not respond for that long. I got irritated when it took more than 24 hours for a response,lol. When was the last time you spoke with your rep? They do have a staff turn over there and possibly your rep is gone. If you are in the north east US I may still have some numbers for regional supervisors, or maybe my rep could get some numbers for you. If you want to you can email me directly, use the link under my user name to access my email directly.

I hope that you figure it out soon!

Hugs,
