I'm 5 days out and things are going pretty well. Still a good deal of pain, but I'm starting to see an improvement. I still have a big bump of swelling that curves out over the leads incision (the one that has been opened 3 times now), but the overall swelling has finally started to go down a little bit.

Now that the pain has gone down a little, I've noticed in 2 of the programs so far that I am getting pain in my back. The other 2 seem to be ok, though, so I'm hoping it stays that way. With all of the options for programming with these leads, it shouldn't be a problem. My rep said we'll figure out where those programs are set and then work on reprogramming them. I have my appointment on Thursday.

They sent my old unit for testing, so I'm curious if they have found anything wrong with it.
