Knee Pain, Severe Pain In Lower Right Leg. Did Test Run Of Spinal Simulator. Suggestions?

Hi, I recently did a test run of a spinal stimulator. In order for me to get relief in the correct area it was necessary for me to turn it up pretty hi. On those occasions my knees & legs would be highly stimulated too. The stimulator was removed on last Friday. Over the past few days I developed knee joint pain first in both knees. Now I have severe pain in my lower right leg. More so when I lay down.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The symptoms that you are having could be related to a minor nerve root irritation at the level of lumbar spine. The spinal stimulator might have aggravated this. The symptoms will subside gradually on rest.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
