Can't tell if any of it is helping yet but am glad I went. Haven't heard back from my pain Dr yet.

I was worried that it might be infected by your description. If you have the same dr. As I do (which I think you do) I have never had a return call from him with any of my concerns. I know that if I felt it was important I would call the hospital and have them page the pain fellow. That is what my take home instructions said to do as well. Additionally, I would call the St. Jude rep. I have found mine to be very responsive and mine told me that my dr. Wants a daily update from her on all his patients. So your rep could certainly pass the info on to him. Did you have your implant at Rush? I don’t want to alarm you but I would be worried that you have a staph infection.
