I got some cool tech embedded in me now!

On Tuesday I got a spinal stimulator installed. Right around my mid back area I have a 3" paddle that is connected to a generator that is in my butt. I use a remote programmer to turn it on and adjust the stimulation. No more pain in my left leg! Some pretty cool tech that allows it to work. Even has a remote charger that I wear on my belt to charge it. Dang surgery hurt but getting better.

Very cool ... but does it blend?

At probably around $100000 I'm not going to find out. Have to love insurance when you have it

It is probably way more amazing than i'm thinking and obviously a great relief to you. I just cannot get over that line "a generator in my butt", don't mean to make light of it at all. I just halfway wonder if you could use that as a pickup line.

"Hey baby, I got a big generator in my pants and it only works for you. Get over here girl." *Barry White Voice* Lol

Seriously though, that's interesting. Has the relief been instant. Are you like a beta tester of the technology? I have never heard of such a thing. I am wondering if I need to get some stock

They've been out for awhile now. The relief is instant when I turn it on. I can control how much relief and where depending on the programing of the unit. If you have chronic pain in a limb from a back injury a spinal stimulator is the way to go.

Wow thats awesome. Everyday I am amazed at what humans can accomplish. Hopefully it works out great for you.

May not be entirely appropriate but I 'm dying to see what this looks like. Any links or tags on the web to see it in action?

Can it play Crysis?

Cool technology. Saw the explanation here: Spinal Cord Stimulator Implant Video

Now go ahead and mod it.

Ugg... Having surgery again. Leads aren't right. At least it isn't BSOD'ing.

Shame that generator isn't powered by natural gas!
