Yees, Kathi that is an important point: what looks like pn could be spinal disease. That's why I added MRIs onto the checklist for the neuropathy workup on lizajane.org.

I myself never had an MRI until I'd had the neuropathy for years. And THEN I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis a year ago. Who's to say which really came first? I know people with spine disease who have persistent neuro issues, because they were operated on so late in their disease.
