Default Boston Scientific Nerve Stimulator implanted

On July 19th I had the generator implanted on the left side of my abdomin. The incision has healed properly, but the generator still moves. Sometimes it under my ribs and sometimes it just protrudes out of my abdomin. Has that happened to anyone? What have you done to keep it in place?

I had the SCS Implanted also, and it took a year and a half to try to keep that thing in my Body!!! before my body rejected! Up on my left side of my back I developed a goose Egg, about the size of a golf Ball!! it stayed there for about 6 months, then the skin kind of peeled off like a Sunburn if you will, and then another layer, and another layer, and another until there was a whole about the size of a q-tip. it drained fluid liquid 24/7 clear, no smell we had tested several times for infection but nope it just kept draining, I could stick a Q-tip in it all the way to the end of the q-tip???? Dang! and then where the power/Battery was it turned black???? yeah you guessed it, it started to peel, and then one morning I woke up and I could see the battery silver thingy! my skin had torn open and was a hot mess! Yes can you say emergency Surgery????

Nope! my body rejected mine after i got that lump! after a while your skin will peel at the top of that lump! until you finally blow a whole! and from that whole you will drain fluid! it will stay a whole, until they cut it and stitch it up and REMOVE those leads! they did (3) revisions on either the incision in the Center of my Back to either the one in my hip area because they never could get one or the other to really heal, and when they finally did, that is when I got the lump, and then it did not heal for a year it drain 24/7. and then the battery ripped out of my hip while I was sleeping... but you know what as soon as they took all of it out my body healed up in a week! but for a year and a half, I had one area or the other not healed????
