I was osteopnic couple years ago, have a scan in a couple of weeks.... (dont know why - I am young to have this but seems to run in fam) - I'll be sure to ask surgeon about effect of this too (I asked him if it caused the damage, he said no). We'll also have to see what this scan says.

PN in general has really affected my ability to bounce back from surgery and any illness though - what used to take a week now takes months.....
