I have a Medtronic Stimulation System in my lower back and I have a concern because 2 months ago, when the system was put in to control the pain in my lower back and both legs, I developed severe numbness in both hands and pain in my neck and shoulders above the implant sites for the leads.

The stimulator unit is an internal charging system and must be run at full power (at 10 to 10.5) to have any effect.

Has anyone else had similar problems?

Yes
