Had SCS put in Jan 2010. One lead moved out of the spinal canal after 6 months. Lost my insurance and dr would not revise or take it out. Simply dropped me as a pt. Wouldn't return phone calls and had to withdrawal from meds. Real a**hole. Now I can't get anyone to take this thing out. But I have had so much mid back and low mid back pain. Has anyone experienced this?

    Hi Donna,

    That is horrible!. I assume you are not on disability, because you need insurance asap... Try getting some state insurance, Obama Care at least you will have insurance.  I just went through withdrawals, only because I over took my meds a few days and my Dr. wouldn't give me anymore til I came in. Had plenty of painful/sleepless nights. I am assuming your pain is worse since one lead moved. I also have the SCS also. So good luck!
