Thanks Littlepaw! Unfortunately there's no one who specializes in peripheral nerve surgery apart from hand surgeons in my metro area and if I won't be home, I may as well find one of the best. Dr. Kliot might have been a good possibility being just down the coast, but he's on extended leave right now. In the end, I'm planning to see Dr. Robert Spinner at Mayo. I have an appointment with him in about a month. I'll try to report back with how everything went with him.
