Welcome!

When I read your post I was hoping BumpyRide would jump on this!
I'm sorry to hear you are in pain. This seems to be a pretty common issue, especially this soon after implant. Like Bumpy mentions, keep an eye for infection and make sure doc knows how you are feeling. Hopefully it will subside sooner than not.
I recall that area being very tender for some time. It should eventually begin to wear off to the point that you forget you even have that pocket.....until it gets bumped or something

Other than the discomfort, how well is the unit doing on your originial pain condition? It can be frustrating the first few weeks as you are trying to decifer which is surgical pain and how well your other pain is being managed. Try not to become discouraged. Things will work themselves out, especially after you have a couple of follow up visits and tweaks if necessary.

Do stick around! We're a great bunch and always looking out for one another.
It's great to have you here!
