I am learning how this site works, so I don't know if that was a question to everyone or just another person. Irregardless, My pain has become habitual. It shows up in the evening and gives me wake up calls all night. I take most the medicine at night so I don't usually wake for more than a minute but there it is. I've had it since 2007 and the daytime pain is much less. I hope yours takes the disappearing route. I have increasing numbness and I was told it will probably continue like that. Probably is the operative word there isn't it? Well, take care
