I've been pretty much been pre-occupied with my own med issues to pay a whole lot of energy here. I am sorry I've neglected you! I'd hoped others would have responded tho... We all get very TIRED with our PN at times tho, and I guess this is one of them?
It's good to hear that some things aren't as bad as they could be? In some ways.....
That it's central enables your docs to focus more on the right areas in which to focus for treatment. Not that it makes the pain go away or the like.
I guess next? Its up to you to ask the docs HOW can I get function back? IF possible??????? Argh!

It sounds soo much easier said than done tho.
Go for it good person.. Get better! Or, as best as you can given all and all.
Never give up! To give up is to surrender to a very nasty unknown. I, for one? Don't like those!

's and hope always! - j
