Also referring me to a physiotherapist and a psychotherapist. Still no definite diagnosis of anything other than small fibre nerve damage.
I have faith in this Dr after 1 visit and he tells it like it is, No beating about the bush this could be something i have to learn to live with so no false hope.

This has taken me ages to type with my fat thumbs if i can get some relief from the burning i will call it a success
Glad to hear you have found a doctor that you feel confidence in. I do hope this treatment path works well for you and resolves or reduces your pain.

God bless,
Tessa
