It was further clarified that serial (b)(4) was implanted in his right flank.Serial (b)(4) was the cervical pain device.The patient was getting more stimulation in his left arm than in his right, where he wanted the majority of coverage.When the implant (cervical) was interrogated, there were high impedances.However, the company representative was able to program around this and obtained great coverage in this right arm, right shoulder and neck.The patient was happy with this coverage.The shocking sensation was described as positional; the patient noticed it more when he sat extremely upright or turned his neck from side to side.The stimulation was programmed to gain coverage but not have the uncomfortable stimulation the patient referred to as shocking.The patients physician/staff were informed of the updates.
