Also, you can feel the unit through my skin, it is a pretty significant lump. And I am not a small person, there is plenty of meat to cover it. lol Well, and I also constantly lose my remote. lol

Welcome to this lovely forum. Here you will get all the information you need as you can see just from the above posts!.... I hope the tenderness eases off soon for you. I too can feel the battery in my upper left butt!
and when I lie on my side I can also feel the lead going from the battery and up into my spine eurrrgggghhhhhh
My SCS is a St Judes ANS Eon Spinal Cord Stimulator.......To date I have it just over a year now. I find that I have some relief in my legs but not in my actual lower back. It can be turned up quite high when I lie down and it sometimes reaches that bit higher than my hips but its too uncomfortable at that stage that I have to turn it down again. But I will say that I am definitely more relaxed than I used to be with it, which is a bonus. I dont have that awful feeling of dragging all the time because I feel like Im being massaged when Im lying down , like now!!
Sorry its more than a line! oooops
