Some questions before implanting
I have just a few questions for whoever has any type of answer to them before I try to implant a magnet.
1. Have any of you worn a ring/wedding ring with the magnet implanted. If so do they interfere with each other?
2. How would you know if the coating on your magnet had been compromised? Would the surrounding area just become infected or what?
3. What are some methods to test for breaks in your coating before implant. I know a salt water bath is a good choice.
4. How long does it usually take to get near full sensitivity?
5. What is the highest recommend level magnet to implant. I'm currently getting a N55.
6. Are there any diy things that are recommend to do to the magnet before implant?
7. I live in the US other than the dangerous things kit are there easy ways to source lidocaine?
Thanks for the help.

Feeling the Cooler from my notebook tooks about 2 month.
My magnet is very strong - I can lift about 30 paperclips - sensing is also amazing.
@Sandra What magnet do you have?

I have the cylindrical magnet from Samppa - my bodymod have this magnets.
In addition to loss of strength, there's a chance that once the neodymium is exposed, your body will reject it. It will become sore and inflamed, and the magnet will gradually migrate to the surface.
Not exactly what you asked, but if you have access to a stereo microscope I would suggest also visually inspecting the coating for surface flaws.
I could feel the microwave immediately after implantation, I'd say full sensitivity after a month, and I avoided lifting things (for the most part) for the first month.
You may also want to consider a soak in cold isopropyl once the tourniquet is on- it helps immensely with the pain. Mine was implanted without any pain medication or lidocaine and all went smoothly. Best of luck!
