Has anyone had any problems with their VNS

Thu, 04/04/2013 - 21:13
I had my VNS surgery last April, and my neck where the wire is connected to my Vagus Nerve is scratching the inside of my neck when I turn my head or move my head up. If I press on it, it will move but will go right back. Has anyone had the problem? And what should I do?
