We have GOT to quit this people!
................can you imagine US trying to run a professional SCS ButtBuzz Counsel !
We'd all be laughing so hysterically at our board meetings, we'd be causing short-curcuit surges thru-out half the city!!!

I seem to be experiencing pain in the lower stomach area where my generator is implanted, which is the right side of my hip I have a history of kidney stone, has anyone ever had stone problem after implant or is this a common symptom, still unable to sleep in a bed sleeping on my couch potato chair

you guys have a great sense of humor, loves al the little extra that are added to messages

Charles: I, too, am having some discomfort (soreness more than actual "pain") where one of my implants was placed. I'm attributing it to having the area cut into, pocket made for the implant etc. I don't really start getting sore there until I get up and start moving around. When laying down it doesn't bother me so bad, so makes me think it's the whole "you've just had your body cut up and something totally alien put into it and you have to give it time to heal" thing (now, don't go "Alien" on me here...nothing is going to leap out from your abdomen )

Hi Charles

The only pain that I have at the moment as regards my implant, its in my left butt btw, is when I sit down against it, it hurts and up higher in my back where I expect the leads are either ending or pressing on something is rather sore too. Im not too sure bout getting stones problem though sorry

Thanks I wonder if my ears will change and start to become pointy? or will my skin turn green

Hey Charles, it is good to hear from you, even though the pain thing in the abdomen is so bothersome. Interestingly, I originally hurt more on the T8 level where they did the laminectomy to insert the paddles, and not so much down at the generator area. On the other hand, the generator area in my right hip has been bothersome of late as the swelling goes away and I am left with the unit "right there." It tends to bother when I am wearing a belt with pants.... so maybe suspenders. I don't know... Your abdominal incision for generator insertion just would seem tender to me, almost like getting into an appendectomy scenario, where muscle would have been affected. Did they go through muscle wall there?

As for Aliens popping out of abdomens, well, I will leave that line of humor, and it is good to have it, for the abdominal folks, while anyone with a posterior insertion has to wonder about the possibility of a Manitou popping out of the back [now that is an old and sappy movie].

Glad you are keeping your sense of humor, Charles!

Mark: now you've peaked my curiosity about the "Manitou" movie. I'm a Godzilla fan, myself, as I love wacky monster movies. Especially liked "Godzilla meets Bambi"...short and to the point.

Hmmmm...with being laid up and having a Netflix subscription may have to look into this Manitou thing. See what odd things you do to us, Mark. Have finally finished all 6 Star Wars so now I'm intrigued to find something else to fill up empty hours. Hey, at least I'm not into soap operas, so i do have something going for me.

Charles...keep an eye on those ears of yours and run to the doctor at the first sign of turning green

Well...hmmmm....found "The Manitou"....think I'll pass on that one as it may give me bad dreams, esp. when my implant incision sites start hurting
