Hi Ericka,  I'm sorry you're having so many problems with your SCS. I'm actually on my 3rd. The first 2, after the first 3 months, the leads moved and the SCS didn't work anymore and every time I turned it one, it hurt like nobody's business all over my back.  After 6 months, the area where your battery is, is going to be sore because it's right under your skin. It's been a year since my surgery and my area is still sensitive sometimes. As for your back, you shouldn't be having all that pain, in my opinion (but then I'm an RSD patient that has to repeat my whole RSD 7 1/2 year history to new dr's at every appt I have every month to the VA  - what fun!!!). Has something happened since your surgery to increase your back pain? For example - my dumb luck - I've been rear ended twice since my surgery last year - so that has caused major muscle spasms in my back in addition to what the surgery caused. I really think you need to let your dr know you're having these problems, they really don't sound right to me - and again I've had 3. They had to remove the first 2 after 3 months ! I hoped I helped some. My email is [email protected] or [email protected] if you have any questions or if you just want to vent/chat.
