I am quite a small build so it was really uncomfortable. Here is Australia it appears that most of the devices (I was fitted with the St.Jude one, 12 months ago) are inserted in the abdomen.Īfter 4 months of having mine, it had to be moved as it was really close to my waist and inhibited bending.

I returned to my Surgeon at the first sign of trouble.Īs to the actual depth of the device Rachelle, it can only be put just under the skin because if it was deeper, and therefore under muscle, it won’t work. There is no way you should be experiencing these problems. Please don’t be worried or nervous about contacting his office, this is your basic right. As I have said before on this FORUM and you would know, this is a $40,000 operation, therefore if you have pain, infection etc etc your Surgeon is responsible for this. First of all, you MUST speak to your Surgeon as he/she is primarily responsible for the placement of your device. I am sorry to hear you are having so many problems. but I feel like the DRs f blowing me off like I’m makimg it up!! I’m just stuck I don’t want it taken out. I’m a nurse do I bend lift twist and do al kinds of stuff. Their plans is to have me back at work Tuesday when the st Jude website says 6-8 weeks and it’s only been 4. also haven’t worn regular pants, I’m scared they are going to rub and hurt the incision. It hits everything, from rolling over in bed, to trying to drive my car but I have to sit up to the wheel and lean the chair back do it doesn’t rub. has anyone had these problems? Did anyone leak about 4 weeks post op? I feel the battery isn’t as deep in my skin like the explained. I get relief for my right hip like I need, it’s just this battery placement. It’s leaking through a small hole that’s ftom the incision on the battery. Last week I went in to get antibiotics for a slight incision infection, then today, a big area of leavage showed up after I got up from laying down. I feel like one of my leads moved because I can feel stomach in my knee and it’s suppose to be upper thigh. I can’t lay on my side cuz it just pinches so much and I can’t lay on my back because it feels so sensitive being on it. I’m 4 weeks post op, I’m feeling a lot of pain, lots of pinching or stinging at the battery site, Lots of lightening bolts shots, warm around the battery.
Hello, I’ve just got my scs from st Jude’s, it was proclaim device, which supposedly is the new device as of jan 2018.
