Thanks for this update German Shepherd Man!
Tho I'm sorry to hear of this pain at your battery site. Sometimes this area needs a bit longer to heal, especially if it has been aggravated somehow (bumped, pushed, pulled, etc). There's probably some swelling going on, which would add to the discomfort, and if, like you mentioned, the actual muscle had been cut, then yes - more healing time needed. In the past, I know we've talked about wearing some type of 'cushion' over the battery pocket site. Hopefully someone will remind me what 'type' of cushion worked best. I know that there is a triple-layered cushion pad made by Johnson & Johnson. At least this would help protect the area when getting in and out of car, or bumping up against something.

Now 6 weeks out, no pain, can bend, twist with no pain at all. Just took longer than I had anticipated.
Battery is doing well, new unit adjusts when I lay down so no more shocking. Lets hope this battery lasts 5+ yrs like the last one. German Shepherd Man. |

Thank you so much for this update!
I am SO very happy to hear that everything is as it should be and that your unit is auto-adjust. How wonderfully convenient. I am very appreciative when an SCS'er comes back with an update. This helps newcomers and others who seek 'real people' feedback - more than you'll ever know! Rae |
