Additional information from the healthcare professional (hcp) reported they saw the patient on october 29th and they were still experiencing pain and spams.The hcp had turned off her device on october 24th in hopes it would elevate the issue, but it did not.The hcp noted that everything during the surgery went perfectly but the patient had spasms in the left upper quadrant and feeling like she had shock waves, first numbness down the left leg and then across the abdomen.The hcp noted the implantable neurostimulator (ins) was on normal setting during this.The hcp noted they turned it off and she continued to have it happen.The hcp noted the ct of the abdomen and pelvic looked perfect.The hcp questioned if they should turn it back on or wait a bit.The hcp questioned if it was due to the actual stimulator being close to the rectus muscle causing spams.The hcp noted they couldn't imagine the probs themselves doing it.The hcp noted both themselves and the rep were perplexed.The hcp noted the patient was on gabapentin, but it had not made much of a difference.There were no further complications that have been reported as a result of this event.
