Event Description
|
Information was received from a patient who was implanted with an implantable neurostimulator (ins) for gastrointestinal/pelvic floor and urinary dysfunction/sacral nerve stim.It was reported that their device seemed to not be working because they felt so much pain on their back and they wanted it to be removed.They were transferred to patient services where they repeated they were experiencing so much pain at the ins site and it seemed like the stimulator was moving around in their back.Patient confirmed this had been going on for a while, maybe about 3 years.Patient services asked if patient has had any falls or trauma that might have caused this and patient stated no.Agent reviewed option of turning stimulation (stim) off to see if this helps with the pain.Patient connected to the ins with the programmer and confirmed stim was already off.Patient stated their implanting doctor will no longer see them and the doctor knew nothing about this.Patient stated they just want this taken out.The issue was not resolved through troubleshooting.The patient was provided physician listings and was redirected to a healthcare provider to further address the issue.
