I am not anxious about this. Been there and done it before...........15 years ago. Sadly, the trial was done by my former pain doc and one of his associates that he was training to do inplants. My doc took his associate in, said "hook her up" and walked out to see another patient. I wasn't happy with the arrangement but had a snoot full of Versed and let it ride. I was given no post procedure instructions. While I certainly took it easy, I did things that I later found out were big no-nos. Three days later, I was getting shocked, big time, in the genital region. even at the lowest settings. I called the office and was told to turn it off until my scheduled apt. When that day came, there were no doctors in the office and a nurse removed everything.

It has taken me 15 years to reach the point where I was willing to give it another try. I am pretty much at the end of my rope relative to the pain now. I am quite certain that the first attempt failed due to lead migration. I had no idea at the time that I was doing things that were no-nos. I have complete confidense in the people involved this time. What will slow me down is that my pain doc is doing the trial but I have to go out of town for the inplant.
