Recharging ? Medtronics SCS
 

I have an Medtronics rechargeable SCS. It is in need of a charge. My battery has torn stiches on the inside. I was wondering if anyone has ever charged it with a lidoderm patch over the battery. I need it charged but it is too sore to put the charging belt on it. I thought maybe with the patch the pain would be manageable to charge it. Any thoughts?

Boy, I have no idea if there would be a problem with recharging the battery over the lidoderm patch. I know when I recharge there is always clothing between so I would think that as long as the patch is not too thick it would work. (I have never used a lidoderm patch so I don't know what they look like.) It might take longer to charge that way because you wouldn't get as many bars but if it's the only way you can get comfortable in recharging, I personally would do it.

Good luck and let us know if it works!!
