I went to him for a 2nd opinion. My neurologist referred as he is a specialist in PN and regarded highly in the medical community. He's one of the top neurologists at a teaching hospital so I foolishly thought he'd be open minded. He spent at least an hour with me and was thorough in his exam but it baffles me why he didn't bother with at least my MRI. I hate to blame it on his age (74) because I'm not far behind but I think he may be set in his ways and has a bit too large of an ego. Hard to know for sure. Time will tell. Meanwhile I'm trying hard to break the habit of crossing my legs as I know it's not good for me regardless.
