I lived in increasing pain for over 4 years, it was when I had an MRI to explore the possibility of a spinal cord stimulator that I got some sort on answer. The MRI revealed too much damage for the SCS to work so I saw a neurosurgeon.
Two months ago I had a spinal fusion on L3-4-5, for the first few weeks I too thought I was healed and the nueropathy was gone. Little by little the tingling and burning returned. Its nowhere near what it was before since the pain from the back isn't adding to it.
I know that I'm still going to have flares from the nueropathy yesterday was one of them. All I know is I try my best to enjoy the good days and do my best not to let the bad days get me to far down.
Good luck I hope you find relief.

My PN is considered Critical Illness Neuropathy. In October 2010 I left for a golf trip not feeling well, woke up in a hospital 21 days later. I was in an induced coma for treatment of Legioneers Disease. First day out of ICU I noticed the pain in my feet and as they say the rest is history.
