Glenn,

I am just adding that my burning hands and feet began AFTER the first fusion I had. I just wonder if freeing up the nerves had something to do with it after a long time of compression. But at the same time the C5/C6 was still bad. After the second fusion it stopped altogether in my hands but it took a few months.

I do have a question though. It is still in my feet. I do have lumbar radiculopathy. The odd thing is no anti-convulsant meds touched the PN in my feet with the exception of Klonopin...it was the only med that helped. And now I am finding that Voltaren makes it almost go completely away! Okay for my question. Isn't PN supposed to "wrap around" completely as in a stocking? Because mine doesn't. It is always just on my outer ankle and foot; worst being the left side. So, I am going to assume it may be more radiculopathy. And, yep, have had thorough and complete tests. The small fiber stuff was supposedly so minute it almost didn't show up.
