Event Description
|
Information was received from a patient who was implanted with an implantable neurostimulator (ins) for urinary dysfunction/sacral nerve stim and gastrointestinal/ pelvic floor.It was reported that they'd been having some issues with chills and pains in the lower abdominal area.The patient stated they'd seen their primary care physician twice and that they'd ruled out a urinary tract infection or anything wrong with their bowels.The patient stated they called their urogynecologist's office and they told the patient to call manufacturer to see if something might be going on with their ins.The caller stated last night it getting worse so they turned the therapy off, and the only difference it made was that they felt like they had to go to the bathroom all the time and they stopped getting the sensation like an electrical shock going through your body.Patient clarified when they had the urge to go to the bathroom they would get an electrical shock through their lower half and that sensation stopped with the therapy turned off but not the chills or abdominal pain.Patient services asked the patient if they had had any falls or traumas and the patient stated "no." patient services asked the patient if they'd done any scans of their abdomen and the patient stated they only did an x ray of the bowels today and they didn't look at their stomach.Patient service reviewed the role of patient services with the patient and redirected the patient to their health care provider (hcp) to seek help for their issue, reviewing with the patient that the health care provider (hcp) could always page a manufacturer representative to come to the office to check the implanted system.Patient services also provided the patient with the nas phone number for their healthcare provider to use if they wanted to page a representative to come and take a look at the patient's system.
