I didn't realize that you've only one lead also! Or else it didn't compute.
Well, that makes THREE of us then!
Yes, the 'foreign body' thing makes perfect sense. I have heard of cases where the body rejects the unit altogether.
As a matter of fact, when I think about it, my nightmare with back spasms began about the same time I had my unit installed. When we realized the one lead came detached and slid all the way down my spine, I was hoping that would take care of the spasms. But I still battle these long after we removed the one lead.
There has to be a correlation between these spasm/pressure issues. But what to do about it. Hopefully one of our doctors will find the answer and we can all go running to him for tweeks!
