Boy, am I glad I found this forum. Had my SCS trial last week. The actual implant trial went well, but the procedure had a few problems. Punctured dura during the lead implant. Headaches still (5 days later) More disconcerting, though, is tingling in my legs (mostly in the back). I thought it might be residual sensation from the trial, but it does feel different, and I'm noticing more weakness in my left leg. Now, when they removed the lead, they hit something on the way out - I felt a jolt mostly focust in my left hip and down the outside of my left leg, that causd me to jump and yell out loud enough to scare my wife, out in the waiting room.

Is the parasthesia normal? Should I be worriend? Should I find another pain clinic? Help!
