Default Does your SCS cause numbness while on?

I have had my SCS for a year and a half. I have had six surgerys on it. I was not able to use it as much as wanted because I had the chargable battery and was not able to charge it due to RSD taking over the incision. I had my nonchargable battery placed two weeks ago and have been able to turn it on for two days. I have had it on contiually until I go to bed because I was not able to sleep with it on. After on for hours my legs feel like they have a walking epidural and I can slap and pinch them and they just feel numb. I have felt it before when it was on but now it is worse and I just hate to keep complaining. I would rather feel numb and not able to get around as well then to have to feel the pain. I had an epidural done for 4 days and it was a walking one and this feels just like that. Has any one else felt like this or is it a medical problem that I need to adress with my doc.
