Dear Mom of 3...I ma so sorry that you are having such pain...It is real pain..we all get that here and you have come to the right place..Help is on its way..First..please do NOT USE ICE!!!! Try not to panic and be scared..as that will intensify your pain.. Try to take a warm bath and best you can, walk thru your pain until your can see your Dr...Yes, it is possible it has spread..it can..but try to stay positive cuz even if it has spread..you are with us..Have you tryed to elevate your pain with you SCS unit?? if it irritates your leg turn it off..possibly it is not wired for that leg because this is not your original site of injury... Please relax , you must try to..Know that we are here fo you to vent, cry and talk with...We have a great family and are very happy you have come to us..Read on as more of my friends will be talking with you soon, I am sure of it..
