Heart Migration

It is almost as if leads were a flock of birds capable of making the joiurney south or north.... Rrae, Tchr012, and others have had leads which migrated after they, too, had thought they had scarred in. I am a paddle person, and have passed a year out from surgery and have no complaints from my implant.

Each of the ladies mentioned above had revision surgery to address the migration so as to take maximum benefit from their SCS. So, if revision is in store for you, I truly hope they secure the leads or consider placing paddles so as to give you firmest possible connection. Post surgery you just have to follow the doc's caution and care instructions about movement, a thing I call BLAST---- no bend, lift, stretch, twist until the professionals give you the go ahead. Even then I have done so with care because I truly want to avoid surgery whenever/wherever possible!

Prayin for ya,
