Thanks for the encouragement. My pain is kind of unusual I think it's throbbing in my calf muscles look very painful throbbing. What was yours like? Anyway my life is pretty limited because I can hardly walk anywhere, so if the surgery will help me walk without the pain and I can start doing more things I love to do it'll be worth it. Where did you have your surgery?

Mine was throughout the leg to foot down the thighs with severe weakness and balance issues. It would wake me up nightly with a level 6 7 pain aching and then burning. The last straw was when I couldn't bare weight or sit down at night so ended up in ER where they had already done mri's 2 days prior so they knew the issue gave me steroid pack and pre gaba and IV meds. This helped me get to surgeon and then the surgery.

There is a very long recovery so it should be your last resort. It is helping me so far.
