“Spinal cord stimulator?”
My spinal cords stimulator was removed and the surgeon left the probes on my spine and attached wire inside of me. Can this cause any damage to me and could be a possible cause of my back pain?

The wires themselves do not cause pain. There may have been some tissue damage or bleeding during the procedure and you may experience pain for a few days after the procedure. Please contact your physician if the pain persists.

Please speak to the surgeon who inserted the stimulator for the answer.
