The tissue over the magnet has broken down due to the blood flow being cut off to this area when the magnet is in place. I honestly haven't heard from anyone who's had to deal with this problem before. Are you on CI-circle or CI-forum? If not, would you like me to post your message to those 2 lists and see what kind of answers we get? Kay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
