I am <b>constantly</b> changing mine around becuase I have issues if I overstimulate one area. Also, I have to change the pulse rate a lot...I have to have it low to get rid of tough pain, but if I leave it on that low "thumping" setting for too long, I have the overstimulation problem and have to turn the pulse rate up. So mine requires constant tweaking. It's interesting to learn how everyone uses theirs!Bannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10411396685109840881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6174710622317551984.post-58632786261893301602009-07-06T12:08:12.041-06:002009-07-06T12:08:12.041-06:00Hey there Banner.

The incision looks like it's healing up well..though I completely understand your frustration over it hurting. Unfortunately, it takes awhile for that to go away (mine still hurts when pressed)...plus it looks like your battery is in a tender spot. <br /><br />And I agree with you..the stimulator can be a lot of work. I tend to be lazy in that I don't use all of my settings. I'm sure if I did, I'd have better pain relief. My Medtronic rep. suggested that I power down the whole system and then power up each program to figure out what parts of my legs and back are stimulated by each program. One of these days I'll actually do it because it is a good idea.<br /><br />Anyway, just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking about you...Danimalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17882966951100536465noreply@blogger.com
