Avatar f tn (I’ve also had conservative treatment, injections etc, but only had temporary relief) Since the surgery the leg pain seemed to have gone until last night so I was back on the pregabalin again. Has anyone else had this surgery. How long does it take before you know whether it’s worked or not?

You do need to be mindful that it can quickly become an issue of addiction and to prevent that I recommend treating your depression. Treating depression helps pain levels. Try to de-isolate and talk to your doctor re: the depression.
