Is the overstimulation because of lead migration or things getting settled after the procedure? I have been super careful with my movements. My dressing is intact.
Btw, owwww do my muscles hurt where my leads were placed!!

It's been a couple days since you posted this. Just wonderin how you're getting along.
Yeah, you'll be in a bit of pain a few days after being poked and prodded.
Hopefully it's lightening up by now.
Regarding the stimulation, it's common to have alot of variation after coming home. Some doctors won't even turn on the stim for a week or two after the leads and unit are put in. In most cases it takes a few tweak sessions in the first several weeks and like David mentioned, he gets periodic maintenance tweaks. Scar tissue can get a bit unruley and cause some of the variations and even cause a lead to move by a slight millitude (<--?
).
All sorts of crazy little quirks can happen I guess.
I hope you are doing well!
