Is there a group here for spinal cord stimulator recipients?

@moish - I have heard device reps say that if your legs feel "heavy" you probably have your stimulation strength set too high. I wonder if this is what you might be describing.

I had a Sprint PNS installed a little over two weeks ago. My legs now feel very weak. My arms feel strange too. I was walking down bleachers yesterday and almost fell from the weakness. Does anyone know if this device can be the cause of my weakness? TIA

I've tried lowering the strength. Doesn't seem to make any difference. But I do see a difference when my battery pack is getting lower.
My feeling is that it's an electrical issue.
