I have been experiencing burning sensations in both legs with strong electrical shocks I had the implant in may of this year. I was wondering if anyone else has had simular issues. My implant was a thoracic implant,;I am wondering if maybe it is that the unit needs an update, or if this is going to ve a continued issue.

What unit do you have? I know with my Abbott if I have it turned up high enough even though it is in burst mode I will get electrical stimulation down the legs kind of like a TENS unit. It isn't painful or burning though. Does this sound like what you could be having? Now I know if you have the real high frequency units like Nevro you won't get that sort of breakthrough stimulation. So, it would help to know what SCS you have, has this always been a problem and is it related to you turning up the "volume" on your controller?
