Default Glad to hear this--

--but keep your attention up, and don't forget to mention the incident to the Mayo people.

I can relate on some level--not so much as to compressive numbness, as when I get that (rarely) it bounces back in minutes to hours, but I have had MANY incidents over the years of compressive forces resulting in sudden tingles, shoots, pulses (with periods of several seconds) that hang around for days to weeks and then disappear as suddenly as they arrived.

Sometimes these may be due to nerves attempting to regenerate/reconnect; it's very difficult to know except in long-term retrospect (which doesn't help anyone's peace of mind while it's happening).

I think it was Wings who originally said--and I concur--that those of us with neurological damage, from any cause, will tend to be far more prone to compressive effects in the future than those who have never experienced such damage. (I wonder if that may have something to do with your peroneal pain, and with my muscle tear associated right thumb/index finger/back of hand tingles/numbness, and some of Liza Jane's on-again/off-again symptoms not related to the spine, and to a number of weird patterns reported by people on the Gluten board.)
