@yucca13 It is considerably better. They told me it may take 6 months. I am not there yet.... and I read that the longer you had the pain, the longer the recovery. I had it over 4 years before I found my neurosurgeon and was officially diagnosed, having been through 10 doctors and scores of tests, and treatments (for things that were not causal, just guesses from idiot baffled doctors who would not listen), many painful. I never gave up. I knew what it was from the early days, no one listened. I was told to carry a smaller purse and get PT. You are lucky to be diagnosed. Yes, it is excruciating. They also found a small tumor there, a neuroma which also added to the pain, and no test found, or shall I say, no radiologist found not even with the MRN, the MRI of the nerves.

Good luck. You are halfway there........ diagnosed!
