What should I do if I have trouble turning my pulse generator on or I cant tell if its on?
Your doctor can advice you as to how long it takes to feel the effect of stimulation. It can vary significantly among patients and also depends on your medical condition. Your pulse generator may be on but you may not have to wait long enough to feel the effects.If you have a therapy controller check the pulse generator on green light .If it is lit the pulse generator is on. If the pulse generator is off yellow light is lit, reposition the controller and try again.If you are able to use the control magnet and know how long it should take for you to feel stimulation effects, wait the appropriate amount of time. If you still do not feel the stimulation effects, wait the appropriate amount of time. If you still do not feel the stimulation effects use your control magnet and try again. Your control magnet was probably not positioned correctly the first time, or was removed from your device too quickly.
