Event Description
|
The patient reported that she feels a zap in the right side of her abdomen which results in unbearable pain.She experiences it at least once or twice a week and the episodes last for 20-30 mins.She believes that it is related to the implant and let the battery die completely.She hasn't received therapy since (b)(6) and hasn't had one of those episodes since.The physician feels that it might not be related to the device but has something to do with her gallbladder.The patient agreed to give try again for 2 weeks so the device was restarted.The device was recharged, therapy was adjusted to 10 hours per day, and the patient was trained how to turn the device off in case the pain returns.The patient returned approximately 2 weeks later with the same issue.She had one of those episodes on the same day we turned her device back on.She feels that the devices makes her extremely gassy and bloated also.The device was turned off.The patient wants to wait and watch for a month to see if there is any improvement.
