I have a neuro stimulator. I got a trail before I decided I would have it for good. I had it for a week. then the surgery was simple simon. same day went in moring was awake threw most of it .they put the battery under skin under my left arm by bra line. then they ran wires across my back to neck then the leads back of head and lower right side of jaw. I will need to get new battery in a few years. my type of battery good 7-10 years it is like a pace maker battery. I went home that afternoon. waited like a week I think maybe a few more days then that.to heal some and stuff. then I went and had it turned on. There is a link in the helpful websites i put at top of forum here all about neuro stimulators. i dont have motor cortex or deep brain stimulator. i would say mine is very much like a spinal cord stimulator but it is not exactly a spine cords stim as it isnt for spine. Kim has two of them i think her she has diffrent type of battery but the smae type of neuro stim.
I have big bad side of face and head ache right now..alll day really and sorry if this post dont make sense or words all spelled wrong.. i will holler back on a better day. AND Dang i hope them patches work for you! no fun and not deserved in the least for you to be hounded with new pain. I have heard good things about the pathc thought so i hope it is good for you too,
PEACE
