Well, I got the implanted device yesterday. I have a few issues with it. Will talk to the reps to see if these can be fixed with the permanent one. If not, I probably won’t get the permanent one. It is buzzing in my tummy and not in my back. It is doing good for my legs, but is not doing ANYTHING for my right hip, whch is where the worst of my pain is. I itch like crazy where the vibrations are. My stomach cramps when I try to eat while the unit is on. My legs quiver when I try to go into the room or the bathroom...I have to use crutches for those 2 rooms. Wondering if the permanent one can be better programed to deal with those issues

I just hope the implanted devices isn’t running Windows

Dude. Our prayers are out there for you. Hopefully you can get the manufacturers rep to give you an answer you can live with.

Thanks for the update, dear trussell.

Sorry it is not working as well as hoped. Check and see if it could be adjusted while you are wearing the temporary one.

Did they do an MRI for your right hip or just an X-ray? You might ask to have them do an MRI — I knew someone who fell, just like you, and was in a lot of pain, doctors told him nothing is broken, but pain persisted, they finally did an MRI and it turned out there were some small fractures that either didn’t show up on the X-ray or the doctors weren’t paying enough attention to look. Once he stayed off his feet for a while, he recovered — but it took a long time before they found it, and of course while he was putting weight on it, it couldn’t heal. Maybe you injured it that way too since you fell, as you said, you sat down on a chair that wasn’t there.

If you have a major pain in a particular place, like your right hip, it would be worth investigating it further, if you can find an intelligent caring doctor and can persuade him.

Good luck with everything and keep us posted.

I hope that minor adjustments will make it feel better so you can get some relief. Kind of weird that it doesn’t help what it was supposed to, though.

T, the L3-5 control your colon and bladder and the muscles of your legs, the permanent one will be worse. Think long and hard before you let them implant this horrid device in your back, cause once in, it is very hard or easy to remove, especially if scar tissue over grows it, there will be MORE PAIN from the probe in your spine! And to answer you question will the permanent one be better, NO. If they cannot fine tune it as is, it will never work right and just get worse over time as it drifts off frequency. Then you will need constant retuning of it. And all the side effect of it going out of kilter. which is what you are having now.

I warned you about this, sent you the research, I know what kind of pain you are in, because I'm nearly in the same situation.

Please my dear FRiend do not let them put this horrid device in your body, you will regret it, you think things are bad now, once that torture device is in place it will be worse.

Praying for you that the doctors have wisdom and guidance and can resolve the pain.
