Well I’ve had the stim for years, and no one said anything about any contraindications… but having said that I haven’t used in for a while… it just quit working - now I sort of know why, right, lol… but I was getting ready to give it another shot by getting it resynched when I got the ct showing the wires all bunched together. I don’t remember the cardiologist having any concerns about it, and I know they were aware because I couldn’t get an MRI. My dr that put in the stim is absolutely aware of the pacemaker and he was the one that suggested I give it another try. You do make me think, though… it does seem like there could be a contraindication? I’m going to research… regardless of whether I can use one again, though… this thing has to go! I’m skin and bones right now, and where the vertebrae is poking my skin plus the tangle of wires it looks like I’m about to get a pressure ulcer, and it just hurts like the dickens. I am seriously going to ask the dr if they can shave some bone off or something- I can’t even find any literature on anything like it, so have no idea if there is anything they can do. I’m also thinking of perhaps going to Mayo or somewhere for a second opinion- my back issues are pretty complicated at this point.
