We aren't doctors so we don't diagnose, but we can relate our own experiances.
Every time the weather changes, I have pain. Pain where the generator sits, pain along the leads, pain in the neck, jaw, face, teeth, left side of my head, and shoulder. Even now 4 months after the removal, the pain is still present. From my understanding it has to do with adheasions (scar tissue)
It may be wise to have your unit interrogated to rule out a lead impedance. That may cause a sharp painful episode.

Hi Trish,
As BB stated, we are not medical professionals but I hope you have called your doctor to get in to get it interrogated. This does not sound like a good thing to be happening.
Let us know what you find out and how you are doing.
Hugs,
Cindy

When threatened or injured, organisms draw from a ''library'' of possible motoric responses supported by adjustments in the autonomic and visceral nervous systems. In response to threat and injury we orient, dodge, duck, stiffen, brace, retract, fight, flee, freeze, collapse, etc. All of these coordinated responses are somatically based-they are things that the body does to protect and defend itself. It is when these orienting and defending responses are overwhelmed that we see trauma. |
It's possible that the body physically reacts to lightening in manner that causes the VNS implant to cause pain (ie. musle tightening). These are unconscious stress responses.
