Christine,

You sound concerned about the term "transitional neuropathy." A GP can't possibly know everything, and I think that's the case here so I wouldn't worry just because you didn't get an answer from the GP. Since you said your PN is improving, I would take the meaning of transitional in a good way. Have you thought of phoning your neuro's office for an explanation? I know they don't like a lot of questions unless you schedule a consult, but it's a simple question and, hopefully, it will ease your mind.
