I do not know this info or statistics. But I would think that the greatest issue would be depression and the need for support. It can be difficult to see a positive outcome during the most painful periods. Having good communication with your care providers and understanding your medications. As a complication I see the risk of addiction to the level and types of pain medications that are often diagnosed. Many doctors will readily prescribe narcotics, and if that is the only relief a person can get and the pain is out of control then you must. But I choose to use them only as a last resort. I have read a lot about procedures being performed, to lessen the pain or "kill" the nerve but I am limited in this area.
