Hi Bill,
I’ll see if I can find your post. I know everyone says to avoid fusions and I really hope I can, but I have nerve pain in my feet and numbness in my leg and that’s been keeping me from my job and being a dad. I’m 45 and have been out for over 3 months.

U can find my post under neuropathy group…I have always been told it is neuropathy…guess it’s really what you called it as it is being caused by scare tissue from the surgery wrapped around the nerve…at least that’s what the neurosurgeon told me…he wanted to open up the back, go in and remove the scar tissue…said it would be like when I was a child and had to have bubble gum removed from my hair…one slip of the knife and he cuts the nerve making me an invalid…no thanks - I’ll live with the discomfort although at times it’s not fun…frustrating!
Good luck!
Bill
