Hi abrown176, I am so sorry to hear that you are going through this with your stim. I have had my stim since 2008 (although have to have a new surgery to get the paddle leads put in soon). I wanted to say that you should definitely tell your doctor because when mine is working right I am able to turn it up and it helps my burning/numbness in my legs. I am able to actually walk normally with it on but do have to change the stimulation levels. When it isn't working right I have that burning/pinsandneedles/then numbness and cannot move my legs at all. I really think it is something to address with your doctor because they will best know how to handle it! Good luck and I hope that helps a little Take care'sTara
