As far as I know, that isn't normal. Have you spoken to a doctor about it yet?

It is an adjustment for the body--so it may just be a reaction to having this thing inside of you and running. But if it is causing a lot of pain, it may not be worth it in the end. Who knows, maybe it will go away before the trial is over? How many days is your trial?

Definitely talk to the doctor about it and see what he/she thinks. Are you getting relief from the stimulator?

Default Hi Mel
I did not experience this. Your doc and rep should hear from you about this.
