Information was received from a patient with an implanted neurostimulator (ins) for urinary dysfunction/sacral nerve stimulation and gastrointestinal/pelvic floor.The patient reported a month ago they had to have the ins relocated because of the ins coming out of the pocket.They said they noticed this several months prior.They said there was a rep present at the surgery.The patient reported they were in a lot of pain from the waist down in the area of the implant and there was a big lump sticking out of their body.They thought the lump was swelling.The patient began about 4 days prior.Over the weekend their husband went to rub stuff on it for the pain and he said it was not just swelling.They called their doctor and they were instructed to turn it off.When they connected they got a por message.They were redirected to their healthcare provider to further address the issue.They noted they had an appointment scheduled for the following day.
