Now, don't go callin yourself a 'bad patient' ! The mere fact that you are concerned enuf to address these issues makes you a GOOD patient ya hear!!

I can't really add to the wisdom that Nanc and Johanna provided because they pretty much said it all.
I can't remember if you've had any tweak sessions yet? The 1st few weeks can seem a bit tricky as you heal from the procedure. Scar tissue is forming around those very fragile leads and ANY slight wrong move could potentially cause a lead to slip a little. This would possibly cause the stimulation to change, perhaps even stimulate in a different area.
Usually it takes a few tweaks to help keep the stim where you want it.
I surely do NOT want to see you make the boo boo I did.
As we heal and start feeling better, we tend to get a wee bit ambitious. It is SO very easy to reach too far or twist and turn the wrong way. And you certainly don't want to have to go in for a revision.

The aqua therapy is wonderful! Stick with that. It did wonders for me.

I too had the pain where the incision was on my back. It felt like a bee stinging me when I would first turn on the unit.
That went away after some time.

well, gee whiz....here I've rambled on even when I said I didn't have too much else to offer
