That was probably caused by nerve compression is what it sounds like. Mine first started when I got mrsa bacterial spinal meningitis. There is not one person truly cured of neuropathy. I worked as a RN. for a neuromuscular neurologist he told patients up front you can’t be cured from neuropathy. There are other doctors that say the same thing. Neuropathy caused by nerve compression is different. Which is what you had. When they released the nerve it went away. Luckily you didn’t have permanent nerve damage. Were you ever tested for small fiber neuropathy?
True neuropathy is caused by diabetes, autoimmune diseases, idiopathic, toxins.

I went through an EMG/NCV test at U of Chicago hospital by an experienced neurologist who diagnosed me with idiopathic sensory axonal polyneuropathy. So does that mean it isn’t true neuropathy because it was brought on by compressed nerves? I was also tested for autoimmune, toxins, and diabetes. All were negative. I agree most neuropathy can’t be cured. However I have also heard doctors tell patients that diabetes can’t be cured, and I know a lot of people who have reversed that. I still believe the neuropathy in my feet can be solved if I can get it done soon. The problem with me is I’m back on the baseball field still crushing my severe spinal stenosis in my lower back a couple of times a week masking the pain with ibuprofen. A true addict! If compressed nerves aren’t considered neuropathy, then my neurologist shouldn’t have gave me that diagnosis. Although my feet and ankles are still slightly numb but not painful.
