Hi Snow...and everyone...I have been just lurking lately tho I have to chime in here.
I have the metronic adaptive stim implanted March 2012 for the L4-L5 area..chronic pain due to MVA.I am R handed. My battery pocket is in my R butt cheek about 3 inches down from my waist. I was thinner when it was put in and it did stick out some and hurt ...it moved about a bit with scaring..stuttered and was reprogramed with success. Gaining weight has helped cushion it in place ..it does not hurt when I sit or lay down...for now it is very comfortable and efficient. I notice it when I back into a table or things at that level. It is easy for me to charge which I do in the car while I drive because I found it stays exactly in the right place for the entire time needed.
BTW..."who invented that charging belt"....Reubik?
Now the scars are another issue with my vanity....the pocket scar is low enough for me to cover with my french cut panties (sorry guys) and the back scar is covered with my bra strap...both are healing well. I am still way upset to have them. Of course I am way upset at a lot lately.
Thats my input...
