But that is only one person's experience. Your could and hopefully will be different. Has your doctor successfully used this in the past for other patients? I'd ask if you don't know. The implantation is not unpleasant. You're relaxed but not knocked out. Just a little sore afterward but not bad.
If I were you, I'd try it. What do you have to lose? If it doesn't work, well you're no worse off. If it does, we'll come to the party! I hope it does.
Let us know what happens!
