Ready for a frustrating answer?
I don't know. My last neuro said probably not, the neurosurgeon said quite possibly yes. I am 8 mo. post fusion. I have had a decrease in my burning/squeezing pain in my left foot, but I have more numbness. I still have weakness in my last 2 toes. Symptoms on my left leg are much more than my right, leading me to think it is related to my back, but I may have PN and the back issue. A "double-crush" diagnosis, as it's been referred to here. I am left to wait it out, to see if things improve or decline.
