Dear HD,
I guess there's nerve damage and then there's nerve damage. I ruptured S1/L5-4 11 years ago. I couldn't move my right leg but had to wait a week for my emergency surgery (autalagous blood donation if I spelled it right)
I have totally numb spots and areas of diminished feeling that will never get better. Additionally and inexplicably, I feel a dull pain when touching those areas even if I can't feel the touch.???? Other than that, my permanant nerve damage is not painful. Hope this helps.
My best to you, Dale
