Toxic PNs usually appear all over, not only in one place.
I would get tested for Vit D too, next time you have blood work done. Many people are low in this, and low levels contribute to chronic pain, it has been recently discovered.
Good luck on your surgery, if you have it.

mrsD,
My vit D level was checked not long ago and was ok.
My symptoms include the normal burning/stabbing in the feet but also pain coming downward from the low back through the buttock area and into the backs of my legs along with weakness through the legs. It also seems that when my back is flairing up my feet seem to be worse. That is why I have always wondered about some connection between the two or if I'm dealing with two separate issues?
Thanks again for your help and unless I hear any strong reasons why not to have the lumbar surgery, I will probably go ahead with it.
