I'm now going to change in something more comfortable and curl up in bed to watch last night's double episode of Alcatraz (lol, spell check didn't know the word "Alcatraz" and suggested it should be "calculator").

I had the same experience - infected nerve root - so I took ibuprofen 4 times a day (be sure to eat something with it!) for a week. The radiating pain should be gone if he got all the nerve out. Good luck!
