      Burning pain yes....I had my Nevro in for about 2 years all it did was burn me and shock me. I had mine removed in February and my back pain is still there but the severe pain from the stimulator is gone!!!!

    I can tell you it's normal with the burning sensation, but the other part I don't know. I can tell you that getting the electric stimulator is some company taking advantage with someone with chronic pain and is so desperate to try anything that your surgeon and the sales representative tell you they've seen patients healed up ....and that's is BS.

      I think I understand your question. First question Essie, do you have a electric stimulator in your body? If so 99% of the people that have gone through this, have experienced burning and jolts from the battery.

      Go to another Doctor. MRI, XRay may fine the culprit.

      Maybe try ice pack, strecthing, walking stupid stuff like that. I do it everyday before I eat my cheerios. Essie, pinched nerve, pinched syactica you need an MRI before they can tell you anything.

    Hi Essie,

    Pain from compression of spinal nerves from stenosis can take all different forms and appear in a variety of areas below the belt. The pain can be an ache, a stabbing pain, a numbness, a tingling, an electrical jolt, a feeling of restlessness or even a burning sensation.

    And the location of these odd sensations can also help the doctor start to track down which portion of your spine is causing the problem (although scans are important too). To learn more about that idea, Google the word "dermatomes." You will see mapped pictures of a human being and which spinal area affects feeling in that area. Pains in the groin can be caused by compression in different parts of the spine than, say, pains on the back of your thigh.

    Of course there are other conditions not related to your spine that can cause some of these sensations, so it's best to see a doctor to make sure.
