Radiculopathy vs Peripheral Neuropathy - weakness in calves

Mine provided decent pain relief for about three and a half years. Then it just seemed to stop. The literature says that it should last about seven years. Usually just the battery, implanted in your buttock, needs to be replaced.

My pain management doctor who has done some spinal injections for me... which helped for awhile.... suggested I consider the spinal cord stimulator. But my main issue at this point is the numbness/tingling/sometimes burning in my feet.... and weakness in my calves. There is not a lot of realy PAIN.... so I don't think the SCS would really help me. Sorry your petered out before it was time.
