Any suggestions on how to address the problem i.e. light stretches, no stretches etc? Thanks

Gregg, I was thinking some more about this and since you already had surgery, theorectically the nerve should no longer be entrapped so maybe stretches are OK, but if they are causing you that much pain - I don't know - I guess if it were me I would only do light things that don't hurt. The TENS unit worked great for me and my insurance paid for it so that might be something to consider.
PNE since 2002. Started from weightlifting. PNE surgery from Dr. Bautrant, Oct 2004. Pain now is usually a 0 and I can sit for hours on certain chairs. No longer take medication for PNE. Can work full time and do "The Firm" exercise program. 99% cured from PGAD. PNE surgery was right for me but it might not be for you. Do your research.
