Or am I just getting used to numb feet, avoiding tight shoes? Anyway I digress.

Hi Still,
I always ask for (insist on
) copies of anything/everything for my own records (test results, reports, communications between doctors, etc.)
Asking to check the arms & hands depends on whether you have any symptoms or other reason, what the neuro's opinion might be, and who's paying for the test. Personally, If I didn't have any symptoms (and I currently don't) I'd probably skip the arms/hands until I had a reason, then go back and have thm tested if necessary. OTOH, if something in the hands develops, the reason might probably be the same as for your feet, so it might be redundant. Again, something to ask your neuro (or somebody here might know another reason).
I know exactly how you feel though... I digress a LOT!
