My original neurologist, who came highly recommended, only did the basic tests and was not willing to look any further. He did refer me to an alleged top neurologist, who had trained the majority of "best" neurologists in my large city. After waiting months for that appointment Mr neurology told me (after a physical exam and only looking at my nerve conduction test) that my entire problem was caused by crossing my legs. If I stopped doing that I'd be fine. My point is I have found many doctors to be egotistical robots and/or idiots and you can't take it personally. I do believe there are some good ones out there but it takes work and a bit of luck to find them.
Ya know what they LOVE???? Writing scripts for Gabapentin and Lyrica and telling you to come back in 6 months!
