Yeah, it is starting everything over again. Unfortunately they can't just use the same battery you already have. It's two remotes you'd have to have too, which I mention because this upset me quite when I first found it out for some reason, to know that I'd have to carry a 2nd big remote around with me everywhere as well. But all is good now and I've adjusted, and in the end I made the right decision for me.

In a bier block they put a tourniquet on your arm and then inject lidocaine into your veins- the tourniquet ensures it stays there in the arm. Then they let it just sit for about 30 minutes and they'll deflate the tourniquet. I had these for my legs and wrist, and it was really no big deal. They did it in the office and gave me anesthesia so I was sound asleep for everything. Different doctors have different progressions of treatments too, to try. For example an inpatient infusion is another less invasive option that a lot of doctors do.
