My representative does not seem to know what to do as a result of the increase in pain. I find it kind of strange that I go for a week long trial with a device that has three programs and seven levels for each program, but my representative does not want to move past program one, level six, which is one step above where I started. Here it is, day five of a week long trial and my PM, who finally called me back last night, told me to turn the unit off entirely. I do not feel that only trying two settings on a unit that has many more settings is a proper trial, but maybe they have their reasons.

I think that they set it on a special program, and it has to work on that, if it doesn't you aren't a good candidate. I think that's how it goes here as well. You either respond to the theory of it working, or you don't.
Is it totally implanted yet? I gather not. Be wary of infections in that case. Slightest raise in temperature, or it going red at the site: be at your doctor!
