Hopefully somebody out there can help me!! I am on the verge of a nervouse breakdown over this!!! I had a Medtronic spine stim put in me in 2013! Every time I turned it on I got severe burning pain and it would swell up uncontrollably!! Finally on eighth week it exploded!! I ended up in hospital for six days!! After that I have that pain 24/7!! Can't do anything without suffering badly!! Saw all kinds of doctors and they said I needed to try another one!! Against my true feelings I was skeptical and ended up putting it in!! I couldn't even use it due to the severe crippling pain it caused!! Ended up taking it out and after three years of doctors they did an mri looking to see if it burned my spinal cord!! The do to told me that no burn on spinal cord and wants me to put in new nevro hf10 system wich I am worried about doing!! The pain is still 24/7!! Pain meds all day long and I still suffer badly!! I am looking for some kind of answers!! I don't know how much longer I can take the pain!! Does anyone know of anyone else that had or has this problem?? I am at my end here!! This is ruining every part of my life!! Lost most of my friends as back so bad I can't go any where!! Not even to dinner,cookout or any kind of event!! If any one reading this can help me with any kind of information I would be forever in your debt!! I don't know how much longer I can fight or put up with this pain!! Doctors aren't doing me any favors either!! Please...please reply if yoj can help in anyway!! I live in Franklin Massachussetts!!

      Aldo, HIPPA does have guidelines and websites where you can contact a different compliance company who will obtain them if you cant. Also, out of state attorney will give free advice. Actually, I've gotten to speak to the Texas bar and I got a free consultation bc my personal injury attorney is a little shady, and my disability attorney , never contacted me at all and two years nor did he update my information with the Social Security office for my disability hearing and I got a letter of dismissal from the Social Security office because I found out by calling them ahead of time that my hearing was in March my attorney did not even call me to let me know nor did he show up nor did I show up because I didn't know so I have to appeal it for the third time in 3 years
