I was denied a medical card because of the pain alone. because it affected the light leg, then with neurontin was started and it was a complete end to the exam. . Just keep ll this in mind when moving forward in trying to get back to work. Trust me I know how bad it sucks.. also think of the pain you are in doing light duty. now put in your normal work load. I wound up with the skin on my feet splitting open my socks filled with blood every day.just consider all of this as you make your decision.. ....Hoping you all the best
