Default Dynesys removal

I'm a week out from dynesys removal so it is time to update the signature. Six weeks into the dynesys, I started developing bilateral nerve pain down the back of both legs that came on after walking short distances and came on with a vengeance like no other leg pain before. Other than having an MRI 3 months after initial surgery that didn't show anything suspicious to correlate the symptoms, my surgeon was not overly helpful in finding the root cause of what was going on. He said my nerves were irritated because I've had IDET and dynesys. Not a diagnosis that you can really work from. The good news is that my bilateral leg pain has improved with the dynesys removal so the “proof is in the pudding” as they say.
