Neuropathy pain level change after foot/ankle surgery?

Posted by jeaiken @jeaiken, 13 hours ago

Did anyone experience a pain level change from peripheral neuropathy after having foot or ankle surgery. My surgeon has made me aware that I may experience a worsening of pain from my peripheral neuropathy after undergoing scheduled foot surgery for "claw toe/hammer toe" surgery. Right now my pain level is manageable but I do not want to do anything to make it worse. Any comments regarding this is appreciated.

I had a hip replacement after having had a PN diagnosis for several years. The hip surgery did not change my PN symptoms. Hope you get enough info to decide what is the appropriate path forward for you.
