Hi mspennyloafer. I have SFPN. I was in a state of remission almost for 3 years. Last March I had a car accident (whiplash), and jarred my spine pretty bad. I have had a significant exacerbation of PN since. It comes and goes. When I use ice on my spine for 2-3 days I have almost 1-2 weeks painfree. My neuro said that the nerve roots that exit spine have been irritated and it will settle down. When????????
Lord only knows. You are not alone. It really hurts somedays.
All the best and keep using ice.
