Right away I noticed that the stim not only stimulated my left leg and buttock, but also my right leg and between my legs.

I was told not to worry, that this was VERY early days and hopefully once the leads had settled in, things would work out ok.

Sadly, this hasnt been the case and therefore I have been unable to use the stim hardly at all because of the sensations .. when I did it has caused paralysis to both legs ..

Am at the Neuro Surgeons on Thursday next week .. having been referred by my Pain Consultant, as he feels a paddle lead might give me better coverage ..
