As Arranged, I attended the appointment. The neuro had only ordered that my leg tingles be checked. All clear and normal was the result. I asked him to check the buttocks since I feel nothing in those muscles. All clear and normal, he said.
Whilst I was standing there with my pants around my ankles I was using a nearby unit for balance --just using two fingertips. He told me to let go and stand "you can do it" he said (they always know, don't they). I immediately went into a wobble and fell flat on my back -- he made no attempt to enquire if I was uninjured. The nurse stood by whilst I got myself back on my feet (the best way).
I have no idea what the next move will be. I should imagine that the neurologist is in the same boat.
The EMG doc did say that the problem was elsewhere -- meaning the brain and spinal cord. I wonder if the Neurologist knows what that is.
