Is Abdomen Pain Common Post A Spinal Cord Stimulator Implant?
hello, my husband had a spinal cord stimulator implanted about 9 days ago. We were under the impression it was a same-day surgery procedure, however due to excessive pain he was admitted and spent 4 days in the hospital. He is still experiencing a lot of pain in his abdomen. is this normal.

The pain in the abdomen could be related to an infection or a surgery complication. For this reason, I recommend consulting with his doctor for a physical exam, an abdominal ultrasound and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate, kidney and liver function tests). Hope you will find this answer helpful! Best wishes!
