Hi, I had the marine coil fitted this morning at my gp. I've just come home and had a shower and noticed that the threads are hanging like an inch out of me. How can this work when your not supposed to see or feel them?

    When I had it done it felt like I could feel it but I never looked as I had to go to work, I can't feel the coil it's self it's just the strings that are bothering me. I'll ring the docs in the morning see what they say smile yes I'll let you know how it goes. Thank you for the reply smile xx

    Tha's not normal, you need to go back ASAP. Sounds like it hasn't been fitted properly, if its fitted correctly you should be able to feel the threads with your fingers inside of you!
