Default Butt pack pain!

Hey all...I haven't been around for almost a month, and in that time I have started to lose weight. I'm off most medications, but still take the Percocet off and on for the original knee pain. Don't think that'll ever go away or be helped by the SCS as its a mechanical issue.

So, as I said, I've started losing the weight that all this medication brought on and consequently, my battery pack is no longer as far under the surface of my bum cheek as it used to be! It was always where I could feel the edges, but now, I feel like it sticks out and when I lose more weight (15-20 lbs to go), it's going to be very obvious to everyone! That's how I feel it'll be anyway.

When I ride my bike, the top edge feels like it's rubbing and stabbing my bum...I guess I actually have muscle under there after all, because it's moving that darn battery! I'm actually starting to believe I made a mistake in having the implant in the first place because I've used it so little!

Has anyone had this problem, and have you done anything about it or is there even anything that can be done?

I appreciate any and all comments and suggestions!

Thank you!
