Reply to Alexander Irvine's Post: pain getting worse, my 2 outer toe feel like they were broken, my skin is so sensitive to the touc h (Foot,lowe leg) that I cannot put any socks on or use blankets.
I am on Percocet 1 3 times daily, flexeril 10mg 3 times daily and neurontin 300 mg 3 times daily

Also,the surgery was supposed to be a small biopsy and I woke up with terrible spasms in my lower leg which ended up in being completly nump\\Foot,toes and outer side of leg up to knee

I spent 7 days in the hospital where they gave me morphine every 4 hours and the above mentioned meds. Also they provided me with an AFO that I am supposed to wear. Well, right now I can't because it hurts too bad.
I was released without any further instructions or treatment plans,

This sounds like a "disaster."

You clearly have ongoing nerve root irritation.

You need significantly more powerful analgesia.

The fact the symptoms are getting worse is a great concern.
