Leesa,
Thanks for your reply.
I spoke with my Dr. He is referring me to a spine specialist to further discuss my MRI results (and how it may be causing my neuropathy). I also got a back brace as lying down and sitting (especially in a car!) was just too painful. It's my first day with the brace and so far it seems to be somewhat helping, so I'm at least happy about that.

Thanks again.
Miriam
