Hi Carol,

What surgical procedure are they doing ?
I am better since having the surgery by about 50%.
I think there is still some nerve entrapment where the
sciatic nerve passes by the knee. I am going to see an
orthopaedic surgeon on Sept 8th for a consultation.
There was some talk of a cyst at the back of the knee.
That could be the cause of the problem.
Again, good luck on your upcoming surgery.
James.
