I don't think it's that sudden. So what did recommend? I was told that I might not be able to walk if I didn't have surgery. But he didn't say it would be so sudden like that. I am going to have the surgery anyway not necessarily because of that but because I can't live with this type of nerve pain anymore and I used to be very social but now I can't go to things where people stand around and chat like a little art opening or any kind of party where the people are standing. None of the pain management doctors I've been to have really helped me, which is another reason I'm going to have to have the surgery. I sure hope that works otherwise I don't know what I'm going to do.
