D.B.S battery hurting like mad!!

[lwlw]

I've had my d b s battery since 5 weeks ago and for last couple of days it's sore inside , stabbing pains . there is a bump which i think is part of batt and the skin around if is red. Any one else had same problem

Sounds like it could be an infection. You need to see someone quickly to get treatment for this asap.

You may have an infection in the surgical area. Go to the doctor to get it checked out. Good luck.

I hate to say butI went through hell for a year... post surgery infections... 5 years later, All said I'd still do it again!

What happened to you if you dont mind me asking ? A year back and forth must have been awful , is it ok now as you said its worth it . Im a bit worried that this will happen again when i put new batt in ?

Thankyou all for responding !! This all happened over weekend , by Monday it was better , now we live 2 half hours from Walton Hospital Liverpool 3 hours with traffic and of course Monday it didnt feel that bad , I thought of not phoning but I did and was told to come into Walton that afternoon . I took my meds with me and nothing else . I was seen and could hear the nurses talking with the doc the words "she'll have to stay" was ringing in my ear . And 2 weeks on I,m still in , luckily they managed to save the electrodes and took batt and lead out . I still have a bad infection so am on antibiots through drip for 30minutes 4 times a day . If I hadnt gone in that day I dont know what would have happened to me so thankyou for all advise xxx And thankyou to all of the staff in Walton .
