I am experiencing very similar issues. Ongoing for 11 months now. Laminectomy was done on November 27, 2024 and within a couple weeks I started with the foot pain, sharp, electrical like feeling with dorsiflexion, weight bearing and sometimes just subtle movement. None of my doctors from my Neurosurgeon, ortho or pain management thought it was related to the laminectomy, but I am now finding others like me. I did 9 months of Physical Therapy which helped somewhat and am currently taking Gabapentin and Meloxicam. I went through a series of 5 injections in my foot, as a pain management doctor found 4 inflamed nerves stemming from the tibial nerve. Toward the end of these injections the same extreme nerve pain started on outside of foot with Sural nerve. So far 1 injection for that. I am to do more injections in 3 months. The Tibial injections brought some relief, but so far the Sural injection has not. I am also to switch to a Lyrica and quit Gabapentin soon. Still unable to walk unassited. Currently using cane or crutches and even with those can not walk far at all. The shoe issue is still a problem. Cushioned open back shoes work the best. If someone is ever to be able to get rid of this pain I will update here. I will monitor for others that are on a similar pain journey as myself.
