Guest guest Posted August 1, 2000 Report Share Posted August 1, 2000 Hi : Dr. R said that leaks usually happen during the first one to three days. He said you almost always know because of how you feel. Several who have had leaks described it as excruciating pain. Sounds like you're over the leak hump and can relax! And no, it is not a danger forever...just when the new connections are new. Flo > ** Original Subject: RE: Pain?
