Is Abdomen Pain Common Post A Spinal Cord Stimulator Implant?

Hello!
My name is Dr. Aida and I am glad to attend you on Healthcaremagic!
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!
