But, as Mrs. D said, patience is defintiely called for.

Depending on the extent of the compression, it may be weeks/months before you know the full extent of recovered functioon--angry nerves heal more slowly than just about anything else. Moreover, one can't really know the extent of recovery of function unitl the inflammation from the sugery itself recedes (never mind what what there before the surgery).

I would keep a diary (with daily entries, or even more often if you feel up to it) of your impressions, sensations, etc. through this period, so you have comparison and retrospect points--you also won't have to rely on memory for follow-up appointment reporting.

Hope your recovery goes as speedily as possible.

I am sorry I am late to this but wanted to wish you get well thoughts.

Very good idea. I will b patient and I will keep a diary and keep u posted on my progress. The surgeon said the nerve was angry and red so it stands to reason that it needs to settle down as u said. Thank u

Speedy and complete recovery, Aussie!

Aussie,
Wishing you the very best, is your PN pain more severe with the condition your in?

Hi,
My pn is almost completely resolved. I had body wide symptoms for 5 yrs. Also autonomic complications. It took years but it got sooo much better. My back was a co-condition.
