TK,

I'm so sorry to hear you are having trouble with the battery scarring in. I was wondering if you are wearing an abdominal binder or some other type of compression around the battery? I am new to the whole SCS thing (just had mine placed on Monday) but, I am all to familiar with seroma formation after surgery and how it can become a permanent problem if not treated aggressively. I had one build up after a recent hip operation and how it was managed was by needle aspiration and compression wrap. My OS has also placed me in an abdominal binder for 4-6 wks to ensure battery stays in place and to prevent this fluid (seroma) buildup. I certainly hope it resolves quickly one way or another so that you can benefit by this amazing technology.

Wishing you the best,
Tessa
