Please respond: Survey of type of pain before lumbar ADR's

[petrkr]

I am wondering what type of a pain did ADR folks have before surgery.
1) Stabbing?
2) Aching?
3) Dull?
4) Shooting?
5) Burning?
6) Electric shock like?
What paid did you have after?
1) Stabbing?

3) Dull?
4) Shooting?
5) Burning?
6) Electric shock like?
I am trying to decide if ADR will help to address my type of pain.

All before surgery. None after.

All before surgery, only slight tingling (not uncomfortable) when sitting for extended periods since surgery.

How bad was the burning? I have heard a lot of people blaming the burning on neuropathic pain which will not be helped with ADR. I am suspicious of these claims.

Prior to surgery it was intense. Now it reminds me of the burning sensation after your foot "falls asleep" and blood begins to flow again. It is neuropathic. The pressures from a lowered disc, disc material, change in nerve to structure tolerance difference and continual irritation can cause neuropathic pain.
