Hey ya'll sorry for the late reply!

Question: Do you "feel" any different other than the pain?

Answer: Yes, the left leg has been tingling most of the day and I have
asked the doctor and he said that it would take time to heal.

What kind of pain is it?
The nerves and skin are very sensitive to touch by anything.

Anyone else ever had it happen?

Re: [QUAD-L] Re: LittleQuad is back!

[jume9999]

Oh my gosh, I guess I came back at the right time, I've had the same pain, but 
it is not constantI assumed it was because of my being crooked due to 
calcium deposits long ago. It is hard to tell by the conversation did you also 
get a ryzodomy and did it help? Who else has had one.? I really want something 
done. I don't get much hep from meds anymore.
