Greetings all,

I'm NavDoc. Glad to have found this site.

My issue is as follows. I just finished my stay at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. Went there to find a diagnosis and to rule out the big diseases such as MS or ALS. They performed just every test for peripheral neuropathy. The only test they did not do except pregnancy (I'm a guy) and an autopsy, which of course, I did not volunteer for at this time.

They ruled out all of the big diseases but were unable to find the cause of my bilateral leg pain. The analogy the doctor used was that of a car alarm. The alarm is sounding (pain) but no one is breaking into the car (no damage to the spinal or nerve structures, etc.)


I'm glad that I do not have a life changing/ending disease, however, I wish I had a diagnosis. Does anyone else here have the same issue?

Thanks,

NavDoc

Hi, NavDoc! Welcome to NeuroTalk!


I'm glad you don't have MS or ALS, both are some harsh business. I am curious about whether your vitamin levels are in good order. Feel free to join in anywhere, and let us know if we can help you in any way.
