Do what makes you (Alan) feel better and live with it.
Get on with your lives and try to live as normal a life as possible.
Concentrate on the things you can try to do something about (healing the foot).
Believe me, once the 'acceptance' mode kicks in, you'll both be better off.
Never be complacent, always be aware of new and better ways to diagnose, but stop going ga-ga nutso about finding the cause. Your posts seem to be highly detailed, and anxiety ridden- whether its you or Alan. Let it lie.
Just MHO.

Sorry if my posts are detailed. I thought that is the purpose of these threads, ...to share info and get some answers.
And it wasn't OUR IDEA to go to the back doctor. It was HIS NEUROLOGIST's idea. She made the appointment. Alan and I felt we had to go because his neuro said "I believe it's your back that is causing the neuropathy".
And I can assure you that neither of us is angst ridden. We go about our business each and every day and make each other laugh. You only have to read some of my posts to realize this.
And we attend the Neuropathy Support groups as often as we can. I bake muffins and everyone seems to enjoy them.
I am not the kind of person who goes around with a pessimistic kind of attitude (althought I certainly am entitled to do so due to the fact that we have a son who is no longer in our lives. That is enough to make anyone ANGST RIDDEN.
But I digress.
No more detailed reports, I can assure you of that.
