Hi everyone, sorry I've been pretty MIA lately, but I've just been very busy with grad school. Things are going pretty well with my new SCS, I just reached 8 weeks last week and I'm so glad that I'm able to bend again I did end up going to meet with my rep on Tuesday because 5 out of the 6 programs I had were giving me pain in my back again. She left the ok one alone and changed the other 6, but 4 of the new ones are still giving me pain. At least now I have 2 that are okay, so the visit wasn't a total waste of time. Unfortunately she's stumped why I'm still getting the pain in my back. She went all the way up and down the leads and I was getting it all through. And sometimes the pain is lower in my back and other times it is at a more mid back level, probably where the leads are. Obviously the problem is with my body since it's still happening with the new SCS, but it's super frustrating that no one can figure out why. Still, though, I have 2 programs that work and can use my SCS so I'm happy with what I have. And I love how my new unit lasts so much longer in between chargers, which is very helpful with my busy schedule.

Anyway, while I was sitting in class last night, my back was really bothering me where my battery was. When I got home I realized why: a corner part of the generator is really protruding out. It must have shifted a little. For anyone who has had this problem before, were you able to get it to shift back on your own? I'm wondering if wearing my abdominal binder again tightly or even wrapping an ace bandage tightly around it might help. I've had my units shift around a little bit before and be ok so I wouldn't mind if it wasn't hurting. I'm really hoping I can figure out some way to adjust it to where it's not sticking out so much.
