Hi there,
I know a moderator will be by shortly to answer your question on posting from another thread....in the meantime ....

I will give you my experience on removal. I have mine still and keep it charged and sometimes use it. I hope in the future when I have a hip replaced that it will ease pain then also.

I have however wanted it removed as soon as it was in me because it felt so foreign and hurt so bad. It was explained to me that it gets so scared into the body tissue that they actually have to carve it out of you. It becomes a very invasive surgery...I can only imagine as that was enough for me to hear.

I am on hold with all medical as I get Medicare in the spring and then I will be looking at all my options. It bothers me too that I can't have a body MRI.
