Suggest Treatment For Chronic Pain In The Lower Back And Leg
On 6-17 I had a Medtronics no charge simulator replace because of acute pain from that area. Surgeon would not allow much as to the problem with the removed devive but Fluid around the contacts may have been the problem. I am still having acute pain at times (spams) around the site and with Medronics saying that their was no problem with it I don t know what I might be dealing with.....J. Eric Smalley Thanks, but I m on SSI-no $$$ s

Hello,
It may be due to nerve compression at lumbar spine level.
For further assessment, I would suggest you to consult with spine surgeon.
He may procure MRI back to the nerve conduction, vitamin B12 as per evaluation.
You may require physical therapy after consultation.
You may require surgical intervention in case of severity.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
