Internal bone stimulator
I have an internal bone stimulator implanted at the top of my hip bone. There are two tiny wires that go up the length of my fusion. The stimulator is very easy to see on my x-rays so I'll try to get them posted here. The stim has a battery that lasts 6 months then stops so basically it's a useless piece of hardware now. My doc said if it's bothering me he could do a minor procedure, make a small incision, get ahold of the body of the thing and fish the wires out. I told him it's just fine where it is!
Just out of curiosity does anyone else have an internal device?
