 Dale,Maybe like me your pain will go away a significant number of years post your surgery.  I am really amazed that I can now exercise and do things I couldn't do w/o serious nerve burning type of repercussion and am not taking any Neurontin.   I exercise at least twice daily now and these exercises used to flare me up, walking used to flare me up, sitting as much as I do now used to flare me up... so many things.
 
 The only thing I'm noticing is that toe thing and that's my right foot last two-three toes from the small toe and it happened last night after I was just sitting down to dinner at friends however it was a transient pain and went away after a few minutes.  Thankfully.
