[QUOTE="504RP, post: 1813061, member: 40335"] I have been trying to drive anything with a clutch no more than I have too. That seems to have helped me avoid the cramps a little bit. I don’t know why but sometimes my right side of my lower back gives me trouble and I have more leg cramps in my right leg. Then for some reason things switch to my left side. Think it’s when I have been driving trucks or tractors that I have to use my left leg to push the clutch in a lot. Kind of the same reason my leg muscles from my waist to my knees go numb. If I stand in one spot like when I am talking to someone my leg muscles go numb. Was talking to a friend of mine who is 67 that had a tree fall on him when he was 41 when he worked for the Forest Service. He was telling me about all of the surgeries he has had. He knows the guy I was telling you about that might have the electrodes put in. He told me he had that done his self in Tulsa Oklahoma. He said that they had to remove the electrodes less than an hour after they had put them in. Said that just for no reason both of his legs from his waist down just started raising up and dropping back down. He said the surgeon immediately took him back to the OR and removed them. The other friend of mine that is considering having that done was selected as a candidate to have that procedure done at UAMS . He said there has been several doctors calling and talking with him about it. They haven’t told him for sure they will do the procedure on him yet only that he is a candidate that they might offer doing it for him. So I guess it depends on the person’s back injury as to whether or not the electrodes might work for them. And I don’t know how long ago it was that the guy who had to have the electrodes removed had that surgery. So things might be better now and doctors know more about doing the implants than they use to. Regardless it’s something I hope I never have to think about having done some day. Until a person is facing back injuries they really don’t understand how much stress it is just thinking about it. Anyway that’s how I feel about it. [/QUOTE]
