In addition to risks related to surgery, complications can include pain at the implant sites, new pain, infection, lead (thin wire) movement/ migration, device problems, undesirable changes in urinary or bowel function, and uncomfortable stimulation (sometimes described as a jolting or shocking feeling). Talk with your doctor about ways to minimize these risks.

Most common side effects of PTNM are temporary and include mild pain or skin inflammation at or near the stimulation site.
