Thanks for those tips. I have wondered if the pain could have neurological component and I did do a little more walking last night before retiring and think that too might be good idea. I tried using Diclofenac 8% Ointment last night and it definitely helped. Will discuss Lyrica with dr today.

Nerve pain has been my biggest complaint. I am almost 5 months post op and the pain has settled down to itching and burning. Definitely worse during the night.
Surgeon said it was all part of nerve regrowth.
Occasionally I might take Lyrica now but in the beginning I don’t know what I would have done without it
