@shelly1228 Welcome to Connect. I know healing from surgery can be frustrating, and the surgery causes inflammation that can last a long time which can cause some crazy pains. Don't give up just yet. What I can relate is my experience after an epidural injection that caused some bad pain with burning and electric shocks in my hand. After the steroid was absorbed by my body which took about 6 weeks, I was left with hot and cold sensitivity in my hand That eventually did go away and return to normal, but it took a year and a half for the nerves to completely calm down. I've also had an ankle fracture and surgeries for it, and it took about 4 years for swelling to really subside, so my foot looked normal like it's neighbor. When it had some swelling, I could get tingling in my foot by touching my ankle.

The other issue with surgery is that it creates scar tissue that gets tight. That tightness can pull on and compress nerves. There is a physical therapy called myofascial release that can stretch out tight scar tissue, but only when your surgeon agrees. You can't do it while you're healing.

Here is our discussion on MFR where you can learn more. I have done this a lot and benefited from it.
