The only way to know if that's happened is to get another MRI. I'm not sure I'd put him through the surgery again. It was horriable. The pre surgery and post surgery symptoms are the same. At this point I will see a nero in my area and try different meds. Iv'e read that lyrica is used to treat nerve pain and works using smaller doses than gabapentin.
I'm sorry he's going through this & I will be Praying there is something that can be done for him.
