Hello everyone, just a brief update from me. I saw my neurologist yesterday and he gave me his opinion on my PN. Overall he was hopeful that my symptoms could be managed or resolve in the future. He suggested upping my Lyrica and doing physical therapy. He had a look at my recent MRI and said that although there were some bulges in my lumbar, they were not large enough to be concerned. He was wary of steroid shots as we haven't exhausted all options for managing symptoms. I also had my blood work done and should get my results next week.

His opinion was my nervous system was over reactive due to all the trauma from previous surgeries. He said he was curious about the hardware in my spine affecting the nerves.

Hope you are all doing well and living happy lives.
