literal Savior! It was his suggestion that I get a second neuro opinion. I do believe his experiences dealing with diabetic feet made him a bit uneasy about how my now 'former' neuro was treating or more aptly not treating my neuropathy and it's progression. At least I got some treatment before the entire nervous system was 'done in'!

My podiatrist DOES have a whirlpool...and for the first three years it aggravated my feet and all attached to them, I can do it now about once a year -heaven when I can get it! No pretty setting, more like a closet and a tub, but I do get the lotion [no massage, sigh] after he 'does' my feet.

I do actually see my podiatrist more regularly than any of my docs! HE gives me his opinions of my status far more succinctly than the docs! Were it not for him, I do guess I would be in a wheelchair.

Happy pedicures to all! - j
