What should I do if I have trouble turning my neurostimulator
on?
Be sure to wait at least 8 seconds to feel stimulation after
turning your neurostimulator on. If you do not feel any
stimulation after 8 seconds, try again to turn the neuro-
stimulator on while holding the patient programmer flat
against your skin or clothing so that the keypad is directly over
the neurostimulator. If you still cannot turn your neuro-
stimulator on, contact your doctor.
How long will the battery in my neurostimulator last?
The battery life of the neurostimulator depends on the number
of hours you use it each day and how strong the stimulation
must be to control your pain. Your doctor can give you an
estimate after your neurostimulator settings have been
determined.
