My story is on my signature line.
I've had 4 EMG's, multiple MRI's, countless injections (epidurals, other joints) but it wasn't until I had a mylogram that the Dr. understood why I was in so much pain. When my back would start screaming the pain in my feet would be magnified making me miserable.
It's been 3 months since my spinal fusion (L3-4-5) so much of the pain is gone it is amazing.
I still have neuropathy in my feet and still take Gralise, but this is the best I've been in almost 5 years. I've tried to reduce the dose, but wasn't able to but the doctor thinks in time I should be able to.
I'm sure my story will be different than most especially since I'm experiencing 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.
