Guest guest Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Deb I don't blame you for being angry and confused. I would be furious if it was me. The doctor should have told you that there was a problem, and told you that he had to do surgery before he did it. You had a right to know what was going to happen before it happened. I have never heard of having the wires implanted during the trial. The whole purpose of the trial is to see if the stimulator is going to work. If it isn't going to help, they don't do the implant, avoiding unneccessary surgery. This doesn't make sense to me. I have one battery above my waist and the other below the bra line on the side of my back. My pain pump is in my stomach. The remote that controls the stimulator doesn't have to be right against the battery pack. How is the drainage? drainage is normal, but from what you said, it sounded alot more than simple drainage. Did the doctor do the procedure under the guide of X-ray equipment? Hope this helps Sue C Moderator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
