from my experience, every time i see my neuro, which is every 6 mos, i get a neuro exam head to toe.
this time he passed on an mri because i've been so stable. sx's should be taken seriously. if not by your neuro certainly your pcp. i don't like his attitude. to just be willing to chalk it off to "aches and pains". if it was HIS aches and pain that interferred with his sleep i bet he'd do more than take aleve. i say get another opinion. keep searching til you find a neuro that will listen and validate. mine does both but also doesn't always offer any new insights or help. and i feel maybe there is none. like for my muscle pain. but i just don't like your "dr's" attitude towards you as his patient.

I get some kind of exam every visit. Only drs that ever give me a gown are my cardio and gyno.
Shoes and sometimes socks come off but never my clothes. My dr is not big on MRIs that suits me fine. My neuro says not everything is caused by MS and takes any complaints seriously. good luck laurie |

I thought of sciatica too, from your symptoms. You might try some low-back stretches and ice packs and see if it makes any difference. At any rate, it wouldn't hurt anything.

Wow..I get some kind of neuro exam every time I go in (never in a gown, just street clothes..but barefoot). Regardless, if you don't feel he's taking you seriously, if there's not a good rapport, find another doctor. You need to feel comfortable with the person who has such a big effect on your life and well being.

I had my yearly neuro check up last month.She didn't do any actual hands on but I could tell she was assessing everything I was doing with her eyes. I have been very stable for the last several years and my MRI hasn't changed since 1997! At first she did every year MRI but now it's every 2 which is fine with me.
