What Causes Cold Sensations In The Feet After A Spinal Cord Stimulator Implant?

I recently had a spinal stimulator installed and now am experiencing extreme cold feeling in my feet.The exterior of the foot is NOT cold, but just the interior.I am also experiencing numbness and tingling going up to my knees.My knees are very weak.Could the stimulator be causing this sensation.The technician is coming tomorrow to adjust it. It is from Boston Scientific.
