feet pain gone after surgery?

Post by ntrenchard »

For those of you who have feet pain (tingling/burning) in their feet from pne, has it gone away with TG surgery? If so, who was your surgeon and how long did it take for the pain to go away after surgery?

Hi Ray,

Have you seen any improvement from your redo surgery so far?

Take care,
Ali

I had a numb aching feeling in my foot on the side of my worst PNE pain that has gone away since surgery. I attribute it to the piriformis muscles being in spasm due to PN pain and causing impingement on the sciatic nerve. I no longer have piriformis spasms so that's probably why the foot pain has gone away also.
PNE since 2002. Started from weightlifting. PNE surgery from Dr. Bautrant, Oct 2004. Pain now is usually a 0 and I can sit for hours on certain chairs. No longer take medication for PNE. Can work full time and do "The Firm" exercise program. 99% cured from PGAD. PNE surgery was right for me but it might not be for you. Do your research.

I had altered sensation - pain, basically - in one foot. Since surgery I have not had any problem with this at all. My surgery was not TG, it was laparascopic.

Neuropathic foot pain, burning, stabbing, tingling etc. could well be caused by your sciatic nerve. As Violet pointed out her PN was responsible for piriformis syndrome which caused the irritation of the sciatic nerve. Maybe you need some physio on your piriformis muscle. Try some piriformis stretches too: but carefully (or not at all) depending how far out of surgery you are.
Fall 2008. Misdiagnosed with lumber spine problem. MRN June 2010 indicated pudendal entrapment at Alcocks canal. Diagnosed with complex variant piriformis syndrome with sciatic, pudendal and gluteal entrapment's by Dr Filler 2010.Guided piriformis botox injection 2011 Bristol. 2013, Nerve conduction test positive; new spinal MRI scan negative, so diagnosed for the 4th time with pelvic nerve entrapment, now recognised as Sciatic, pudendal, PFCN and cluneal nerves at piriformis level.
