There is not a resident neurologist at our local hospital, so it seems as though we get second best 
Mark said he would have his feet off if it would get rid of the pain as it's so bad.
It breaks my heart so see him suffering day in day out, and I don't think it is doing our children much good either. They are 12 & 14, therefore they can see how much he is suffering.
Sorry for going on and on, just needed to vent a little.
Thank you for your kindness xx |

I think getting a doppler/ultrasound of the legs is a good idea.
Your doctors may think he is too young... but really when pain is this bad it may reveal blocked blood vessels.
