Recovery from surgeryIt takes several weeks to heal from surgery. Itis normal to feel some discomfort from theincision(s) and to have some pain at theimplant site for 2 to 6 weeks.Your doctor may also prescribe physicaltherapy or medication to help manage yourpain. Always follow your doctor’s instructions.w Warning: DO NOT use the recharger on anunhealed wound. The recharging system isnot sterile, and contact with the wound cancause an infection.ActivitiesSome movements can cause changes instimulation. For example, leaning back maycause the lead to move closer to your spinalcord; this can increase the sensation ofstimulation.Other movements may cause the lead to movefurther away from your spinal cord anddecrease the stimulation sensation.

How your controller worksThe controller communicates wirelessly withyour neurostimulator by sending signals to andreceiving signals from the neurostimulator.Your neurostimulator only acceptscommunications from the controller or clinicianprogrammer. Sending information from theneurostimulator to the controller will only occurafter the controller and neurostimulator are"paired".Your neurostimulator will not be able to sendinformation to anything except for the controllerthat it is paired with. Your doctor will pair yourcontroller and neurostimulator. If you receive anew controller or for some other reason it is notpaired with your neurostimulator, see "Settingup a new controller" on page 208, forinformation about how to pair the controller andthe neurostimulator.Note: Make sure to keep your controller withyou at all times in the event that you need toadjust or turn your stimulation off.Use the controller to:English  97745 2013-04Filename Date TimeUC200xxxxxx EN4.625″ x 6.0″ inches (117 mm x 152 mm)Medtronic ConfidentialPPManual.xsl - PatientProgrammerTemplate.fmVersion: 05-01-2012M948515A001 Rev X 2013-0458Using your controller 4

How to maintainneurostimulator batteriesIt is very important that you maintain yourneurostimulator batteries, whether you havean external or an implanted rechargeableneurostimulator.# Caution: Check battery status and chargethe battery regularly. Battery capacity willcontinue to slowly drain, even when theneurostimulator is off. If the batterybecomes completely discharged, therapywill be lost.Though you will not need to recharge theexternal neurostimulator, you should check thebattery status regularly and report any lowbattery messages to your clinician.Checking the battery status of thecontroller and neurostimulatorCheck the status of the batteries in yourcontroller and your neurostimulator every day.You can check the status of the batteries at anytime.97745 2013-04  English Filename Date TimeUC200xxxxxx EN4.625″ x 6.0″ inches (117 mm x 152 mm)Medtronic ConfidentialPPManual.xsl - PatientProgrammerTemplate.fmVersion: 05-01-2012M948515A001 Rev X 2013-0475Using your controller 4
