I have to wait another month for a nerve test on my legs
He says I have some kind of peripheral neuropathy. Also a low chance it is MS.
Thankfully I am stable on 1800 mg. Neurontin.

they always tell you the stenosis has nothing to do with the pain you feel. I think they're full of you know what!!!! I'm glad the Neurontin helped you. I had no luck with it. thank god for pain meds. It's too bad there aren't more pain specialists there.
