No sensation from my magnet?
I implanted a 7x2mm teflon coated stir bar in my right ring finger on 12/16. I inserted in with an RFID tag injector on the medial side of the finger, just distal to the joint, definitely sub-cuticular but I'm not sure exactly how deep. So far I haven't had any sensation from the magnet at all, I've tried wall-warts, microwaves, everything I can think of. Even stuff that I could feel strongly with the "glue a magnet to your fingernail" method I can't feel at all. Should I be worried? I can't find many accounts of people using the rfid tag sized magnets, are they maybe not large enough? Or maybe the orientation of the magnet is affecting it?

And I do have a lot of hope that it will work for you, in time. Please be patient though, and give your body the time it needs to heal and start getting acclimated to the stir rod.
Also, would you mind popping over to this thread and describing your experiences with the glue-on magnets? There's been some interest in them but no one has any first hand experiences to offer.
