Yes it has, if this were only the "leg board" and not the "pudendal board", I would be a miraculous surgical success because I have no leg or foot pain and I can do my two mile daily walk again without hurting myself.
Unfortunately I still do have pudendal neuropathy, which has improved a bit; and I have cut my meds way down, so things are moving in a positive direction. I am not going to investigate any other interventions for two more years because a lot of patients do not get the full benefit from tarlov cyst surgery until 2 to 3 years post op, and I am only at 6 months so I still have plenty of time to recover fully from pudendal neuralgia.
The legs do feel awesome :D

That is so good to know. How justified must you feel after all of the medical runabout you had, quite apart from the pain relief of course.
Sensible decision re any further surgery too.

I had some internal work done today. The therapist said the muscles next to my hip are extremely tender. These muscles feel better after a massage but shortly after they start hurting again. Especially if I stand in one position too long. Prior to all the debilitating problems I'm now facing I had bad hip pain that I never fixed. My therapist and I believe my hip and rotated pelvis are the root cause, it is probably putting pressure on my back, causing the burning sensation in both legs when sitting down.

So I will focus on fixing this via stretching and the osteopath.
