My doctor also told me that I could develop permanent nerve damage if untreated with my TTS. That is why she wants to do my right foot before the severe pain kicks in. I've already shown sensation loss and muscle weakness in that foot. I go for that surgery on the 8th of May.

I see her tomorrow about my hands. My hands are really bad! I'm thinking about asking her to do my hands (or one hand, I don't know what this surgery entails yet) on the 8th instead of my foot. I'm already scheduled for surgery, so why not just switch limbs?

This is crazy. I just want to figure out what is wrong and fix it. I'm not really sure how the PN could be hereditary because my grandmother is the only one that I know that also suffers with it, but it is because of her diabetes. I do not have diabetes, so I just do not understand.

I think I'm going to go back and see my regular doctor and have him refer me to a specialist to do more diagnostic testing. I've just been focusing on getting rid of the pain and I think it's time to focus on the problem.
