    This technology is a lifesaver. With all procedures, you can encounter problems, but neurostimulation WORKS!! After my leads migrated, I had to have a revision and have had postop infections, but it was worth the pain relief. I am waiting for new leads. If your pain is disabling, as mine is, it is worth it, even shaving my long hair off for 2 years.

    If you do get an infection, go to Infectious Disease immediately. I have a compromised immune system, but most patients are fine.
