@bug3 I had to take narcotic pain reliever to overcome the pain to do the exercise in order to rebuild. I also suffer from neuropathy because a dr neglected to do the bar surgery before the nerve roots were permanently destroyed. They have grown back dysfunctional and cause burning and numbness in my left leg. Strangely, extra iron pills. (Bronson Bisglycinate iron) and B vitamins or injections and two eggs in the morning made the neuropathy go away when the doctors failed to address the pain. I hope you find acceptance if you can’t find a resolution. Best wishes.
