Just installed a magnet, but I'm not sure it is deep enough.
Sorry to create a thread on such a minimal thing, but hey, this is my body we're talking about.
So, I just used an RFID injector to get a small bar magnet in my pinky. Problem is, I'm not entirely convinced that it went in deep enough. It was entirely under the skin, as far as I could tell, and it wasn't exposed outside at all. Should I worry if part of the magnet is in the skin, but not exposed to the outside? If it isn't in deep enough, I'd like to know now so that I can reopen the wound and shove it further in.
Second. Small bar magnets. Mine was strong enough to pick up a small needle outside the skin, but I don't seem to be getting much of a response now that it is in. Well, more like none, though I can't tell through the superglue coating the wound. I don't care about picking things up, only sensing, and I can ever so slightly feel moving past the bar (unless it is my body lying to me). So, should I be worried? The magnet is in my non-dominant pinky, so as long as nothing goes drastically wrong it doesn't matter, but I'd like to know if I just wasted my time.
Again, sorry bout the new thread.

No need to feel sorry about the new thread.
I'm not an expert on this at all, so I'm not sure if I can answer your first question. Hopefully someone shows up here soon to help you with that.
From what I've heard though, the feeling of magnetic impulses takes a week or two to start working well. Your body sort of "numbed" your finger because of the recent cutting it open. The pains overriding the sensation of the magnet.
But again I'm not an expert.
You say there was relatively minimal pain, and that is something I am highly interested in.
I myself have not undergone implant yet, and am very worried about the pain involved, and have been looking for good resources for some time. Could you provide information into your operation and your devices?
I am definitely interested in this process, and will start my look for materials. Your post is wonderfully insightful.
Still scared as hell though.
Don't be scared, be excited! We do things other people are too scared to even attempt, take pride in that! :)
