Default Question about PN
Hi everyone ~ I see there are several different types of PN, i.e. Sensory, Idiopathic, etc. All I know is I have PN, which is caused by spinal problems. I've had herniated discs and had 2 open spinal surgeries plus an SCS implant and removal. The doc just said I had PN, but never went further than that. At the time, I didn't know anything about it. Now i'm curious. LOL

So would it most likely be sensory PN? Or idiopathic? Or what? Or does it really matter? I do take Topamax for the pain, plus pain meds.

Thanks in advance for any info you may have. God bless. Hugs, Lee
