Those little things you clip on your waist that tell you how far you've walked in steps/mile and the calories youve burned. Do you think they are accurate ? enough to log as distance walked?

February 2007 bandsters!
it seems that when i lean forward or anything the blood rushes to where my port is and its intense - meaning painful! evern when i use the toilet and have to lean forward to pick up my pants - it hurts more than it any other position - so i dont think that will work for me! anyone else feels this when they lean forward?
