Well, it's not all in my head!!!!!
I saw my uro today and it has been confirmed that my lead has moved ever so slightly which may explain some of my trouble. He says it moved just a bit but it's not huge but he'd like to see it moved back to the right place. It's an outpatient procedure that will only take a few minutes. I've done way too much on my own and I'm sure that is why it has moved. I have done a lot of unnecessary lifting that I should be having my husband do but I am too impatient...........
Anyway, my doctor wants me to try taking Neurontin for my pain and then if things don't improve, he will have the Medtronic Rep come out and readjust me to see if we can't capture the lost space from the movement. Sometimes they can elongate the stimulation and don't have to move the lead back at all. Then if that fails, he will move the lead back to it's original spot.
Thank for listening!!!
