Thank you

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. My PN is from the spine all the way down to the feet. I have been on a high dose of narcotics to just make it thru the day.

There was a nerve being crushed at L4-5 which I do think contributed a lot to the PN. Also had laminectomy to allow my spinal cord a little more room. About 2 years later, had bladder surgery which resulted in Edema and the PN worsening and causing additional pain in the legs, ankles and feet. So far, the PN has not gone above the spine.. Hope this info will be of some help.
