I don't like to say negative things about treatment or docs because you never know what may help a person that may not help another. I just have heard a lot of bad about this so please research. I know I was at a point in my pain where I felt things could not get any worse but somehow they can. Not to be a downer just be careful.

I certainly will not be jumping into anything. I had kind of forgotten about this until someone at work left an article on my desk about a local plastic surgeon who performs the Dellon. However what struck me was that it said that the best results come from an early diagnosis. Mostly from diabetes wich I do not have. It is very easy to panic when you suddenly start havining numb feet and the doctors seem to know nothing. I had my first followup after a year since this started. Nothing has changed much. That is great news. My neurologist said, maybe your improving. I'm not convinced if that. I think i've just managed it better with bigger shoes etc. He doesn't want to see me for a year. So that's why I'm here. To learn and try non invasive stuff that the neurologist never mentioned. Thanks for all the input...
