You getting relief from the PT exercises/stretches?

That's a very good description!
PT exercises/stretches make me feel more supple/less stiff (which really helps with the foot drop) but not helping much pain-wise. That's where the Tramadol comes in - which doesn't really eradicate the pain but sort of smooths it out, if that makes sense. The worst pain arises when the PT has me pick up marbles with my toes - yikes, lol.
