Thank you so much for your quick reply. It's wonderful that you help so many people in this forum.
MP can definitly go away by itself. I've found a person in a German forum which reported that after 9 month it disappeared over night. My pain doctor told me the same. Nearly every doctor I've seen told me that I don't have to worry - it will disappear by itself. That's the reason why the doctors don't think that MP is a real disablling problem. All doctors tell me that I sould just wait. Nobody prescribed the lidoderm patches - I get them on a private prescription and must pay for them by myself. Thats frustrating!!!

Hi penny.
I would be grateful if you update about your condition.
I had a laparoscopic bilateral inguinal hernia repair surgery 18 days ago,
and the moment i woke up after the surgery i had a terrible burning pain in my left thigh above the knee.
I went to a neurologist and was diagnosed with MP but he says it will go by itself.
He prescribed Lyrica but i still have the shooting pain when i bend my knee in a certain position.
Now i saw a neurosurgeon and he asked for an MRI.
He says it may go by itself and it may not, so it may need a nerve decompression surgery if it does not get better in one or two months.

Can you please belp me?
