@suzirtist You mentioned that spinal nerve compression is likely the cause of your PN. There is a discussion you might want to look at to see if it's something that might help with your PN pain. There is a video in the first post by @jenniferhunter that does a good job of explaining what it is and how it can help.
-- Myofascial Release Therapy (MFR) for treating compression and pain:

@suzirtist thank you for your comment. I’ve become more and more convinced that my disc degeneration, stenosis, compression and arthritis in my spine could be the culprits. Both my lumbar and cervical area show significant wear and tear. I’ve had back pain my whole life, but I’ve always been able to rebound from most setbacks. Maybe my luck in that regard has finally runout.

@suzirtist - I had spinal nerve compression surgery on November 5, 2025 with L2-3 and L 1-2. It did not help. Now my surgeon is saying I need the major surgery that is a 2-day surgery, 12 hours, one day surgery from the front and surgery from the back on the second day and is a cage and rod surgery. No thanks. I am also searching for alternatives for my neuropathy, so I read this site almost every day.
