It never hurts to get information. Before having any procedure or deciding not to, I think it is best to have as much info as possible. Get a consult and see what they say. When it is a sensory nerve damaged instead of a motor one the timeline is not as vital, there is no muscle target or loss. Painful sensory nerves can be treated, removed, relocated years later and make a difference in the right circumstances.

I understand your frustration. My original ortho kept saying my first procedure was a success despite my whimpering on the couch for months.
