Event Description

Information was received from a patient with an implanted neurostimulator (ins) for urinary dysfunction/sacral nerve stimulation and gastrointestinal /pelvic floor therapy.The patient reported that she went to her healthcare provider (hcp) who noticed "part of it had moved" referencing the implant.The patient stated that the hcp told her that the ¿manufacturer would want to have it removed¿ via-surgery, but she reported she had no problems with therapy stating, the therapy was working just as well as when it was implanted, so the hcp decided she wouldn't do anything.The patient stated she had no falls, but a few years back she bent down to the floor which was possibly why it moved, but "nothing she could see that would be a part" of why it moved.The patient also reported using a handheld massager on husband's back reporting "for me it felt like a jack hammer", and patient stated she felt it all the way down into her labia from 8pm "all evening".The patient asked if using handheld massager on her husband would affect the ins.It was further noted that the patient therapy was at 2.7.No further complications were reported.
