Help!! I am lost. I have a spinal stimulator in my lower back from surgery in 2023 to decompress a pinched nerve. About 2 weeks ago I noticed that my knees felt like he had rubbed Novocaine all over them. Well it has steadily gotten worse and worse. Its to the point that my whole body from my chest down is numb. I CAN still walk and move toes and stuff, so far. And i can move and stretch my neck and spine and the numbness will get a little better, but never goes away. I had lumber spinal fusion (2 levels) and Dr apparently implanted this device in my back and I don't know anything about it. I don't know if it is supposed to be removed, or even where it is in my back. I explained my symptoms to my surgeon who did the surgery and I was told that I had some "unusual symptoms" And maybe I needed to see a neurosurgeon. and my primary Dr said "what is it youd like me to do with this information?" I am 45 years old, and these "unusual symptoms" or "unforseen circumstances" as I call them, started when I was 16! And. I have NEVER gotten an actual diagnosis as to what neurological disorder, and autoimmune disorder as well, is crippling me! My spine is deteriorating rapidly and now my 15 yr old daughter is complaining of the same things I was at her age. And I'm not going to allow that. But right now I dont know what to do about the numbness.
