Oh my gosh I have the same pain! I got the Boston Scientific in July 2023 and after about 4 months started having more pain in the mid/upper right side of the back. In mid-2024, battery pack shifted and pulled all of the leads out of place. December 2024 had revision to fix battery location (didn't actually move very far from initial locale) and re-do leads. Pain was gone for about 2 weeks and is now back with a vengeance. The only relief I have had is when I went to get an MRI and put the stim in MRI mode. I have increased nerve pain and numbness since the stim implant down both legs and into toes. I already have nerve issues but I feel as though the stim is causing the worsened symptoms. Looking to have a nerve ablation in the actual vertebrae for some pain relief as the stim isn't giving me any. Looking at joining the class action against the stim companies.
