Hi I PM you but that is great you got an early apt. I am in the US but mine was similar as stated. Like I said before your appointment it is good to have a list of questions,concerns,if you had any labs or other tests done at the GP's bring those. I would also think of meds you have been on or anything else that stands out. The physical exam was similar a pin prick it does not hurt but to see if you can feel it,reflexes etc. The neuro will ask when this started,symptoms,pain scale rating,should suggest some tests for me it was Mri,Emg/NC,and then meds or other treatments to try,also an referals to other specialist like I was refered to endocronoligist/rhemuatologist etc. Make sure you to speak up for yourself and push for any test you feel may help or possible referal. Can you have someone go with you?
Hang in there
