Thanks for your replies......my friend has PN I know in her legs.....and I know the pain was real to her so thats why I am worried......I am such a coward after that horrible fusion that left me afraid to walk in public and frustrated that after 9 falls not one of my 3 doctors has ordered any X Rays when my pain is worse now then ever in my life and according to what I have read I am supposed to be able to walk a mile at 1 month post op and its more then 3 months post op and I can't manage 1/10 of a mile
