Has anyone ever developed femoral neuropathy after WLS?

I have been having incredible pain in my right leg for the past couple of months. Finally had my appointment with a neurologist and he said I had femoral neuropathy. He said it is quite common in people who experience rapid weight loss. He said it may go away on its own in time or it may just be something I have to live with. He put me on amitriptyline(sp?) for the pain, which feels like a really intense burn. Anyone else experience this? Did it go away with time? If so, how long did it take? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.
