Information was received from a patient who was implanted with an implantable neurostimulator (ins) for gastrointestinal/ pelvic floor.It was reported that over the winter they had a pit bull that dragged them across the yard and the patient fell on their bottom.The patient was not having any problems when it first happened.Now the patient is having pain in their lower back and it feels like the implanted device has come out of the pocket where it was at the pouch hole.The caller does not know if it is wiggling its way out and it does not feel like it is where it is supposed to be.It hurts to walk or do anything and they are trying not to lift anything real heavy because they do not want to screw it up any worse.This has been going on for about a month.
