Spinal cord stimulato

Where is it?  We've learned on here that there are all sorts of sites.

That sounds about where mine is.  As for settings, that takes awhile, and you have to be pushy to make them play around with the programming. I don't know if yours goes into tingle mode, I have one that does that and I like having that option so you can see what area of your body is being covered by the program.  You can also then set the tingle at a high medium or low then let them set that back into burst mode so you don't feel it-- that's how the Abbott works and that's my more successful SCS.  However, it's been a lot of trial and error to get it just right.

Are you a particularly thin person?  I have enough fat around there that my device isn't noticeable.  When I had my first device put in and lost a bunch of weight rather quickly, the device dropped right down onto my sciatic nerve and that was rather painful.  So, I do think not having a lot of body fat can be a problem with these big devices protruding and pressing on body structures in slimmer individuals.  LOL I hate to tell you to get fat.  I would definitely say that the doc did pick the best place for you, the other places I've heard, like the abdomen right below the ribs, on the back below the ribs, those would be even worse for you.  When my device dropped onto my sciatic nerve my doc took it out and moved it about 2 inches further out, making it a sort of saddlebag almost, but far away from any structures, so I can't sit on it, don't roll on it, my waistband isn't catching on it.  It's kind of in a nice no man's land.  Sometimes asking them to make a small move up, down or to the side can bury the device a bit better and cut down on your discomfort.  Have your hubby take a look back there and see if you have a better fat pat to bury it in than where is currently is.  If you go into your doc with a plan, I want you to move it here because there's more fat here and it is protruding too much here and hurting a lot--they are more likely to listen.  Good luck.

They don't have to move the leads too, when they moved mine, they just moved the generator device.
