I would like to talk to you more as I am very close to having one put in
How do they replace the battery and which brand did you go with?

The brand I had put in was ‘Medtronic’ .
They let you try it out first with a portable one to see if it helps you. Then they put part of mine close to my
spine at my
waistline, and the biggest part lower in a cleft part. I thought the battery would last at least 5-7 years. But my neuropathy was so bad, I was constantly using it, and it didn’t last but about 2-2,1/2.. they had to take out the larger part to replace the battery.
I’m sure things have improved since I’ve had mine. Good luck to you. Please let me know how you are doing. Maybe one day we will have a cure.
