Hello all,

I am new to this forum; in fact I have never posted on any Internet forums before. I have been reading this forum on and off for the last month after getting a preliminary diagnosis from by GP of Peripheral Neuropathy. I have all the classic symptoms, and all the pain and depression that goes with it!

My onset was very sudden, just after Christmas, it initially came on in the right foot which I injured in March last year. An orthopaedic surgeon was treating me but when the pain started in my left foot he had Nerve Conduction Studies of both feet and they were normal, he did this to rule out tarsal tunnel.

I am still in a state of shock but I would really appreciate your advice on what I should be asking the neurosurgeon who I am due to see next Monday 5 March.

I will post my profile later but I have only just plucked up the courage to post here.

Thanks all to all of you and I hope you can give me some advice.
