Yes!! Same thing here! I can’t have mine turned up past 5 or it hurts my legs and feet so bad! I turned it off and have had it off for 2 days now. I wrap my feet with 6 big patches of lidocaine with the self adhesive ace wrap.

@daxel79
I am probably going to have mine removed. Pain Management doctors have no answer as to why I am having nerve pain in odd areas . Do you have problems with it if you lay on your back?
I am a back sleeper but when I do sleep on my back now I get pain even though the generator is shut off. I was told by my Urology specialist that the lead lines must be laying on a nerve that brings me pain while laying on my back. Thanks so much for responding

@daxel79 were you diagnosed with neuropathy in your feet? What make of SCS do you have implanted? Lidocaine 5% (prescrptiom strength) lidocaine patches help with the scar tissue in my toes for prior surgeries.
