No wonder 40% of the ppl in at least one double-blind study of this thing were non-compliant...

It hurts my neck, and gives me a small headache!

I'll continue to wear it for sure...for three to six months, four hours per day. I will because it takes my chances of a complete fusion of the bone from 6/10 to 9/10.

It's worth it, and I should be thanking my lucky stars for it and not whining, but...

It truly does hurt and give me a headache. Bone growth stimulator

That said, all I have to do is think about the pain before, and I wear it with a smile.

Ugh, feel guilty for whining but feel like whining...lol.

Whining is alloud. One of my friends had a bone stimulator after her feet surgeries. She hated every minute of the treatments, but it did help her some.

Good Luck with all that

Thank you ((((((((((((((((((( monty )))))))))))))))))))

I appreciate the validation, because it is cumbersome then can be painful to the surgery site. They say you can sleep in it? Nope, impossible...lol.

I feel bad, though, because it's a blessing for me to have and I know it, then I'm gonna whine. Bone growth stimulator

I need to count my blessings right now, and this thing is one of them!

Thanks again, hon. I hope you're doing OK. It's good to see you. Bone growth stimulator

HEy ((((((((((((( Kimmy ))))))))))))))))

There is no way I could see anyone sleeping with the machine on them. That would keep me awake. Don't worry you'll get there. And don't get down on yourself it's not alloud. It's bad for healing.

With all you have been through, I can completely understand how you are feeling about this growth stimulator, both good and bad. Just because we are doing something to help us, even if it hurts and is uncomfy, doesn't mean you don't have the right to whine about it when you need to Bone growth stimulator
