Nope. I can live without the confirmation but what I can't deal with is the slight possibility I could have found a reason for the symptoms so I'd know what to do to maybe keep it from progressing further. I had put way too much hope into this appt and I'm very down this morning

I had an appointment like that, not with a "top flight" sort, but it is hurtful when you run into dismissive medical personnel.
Keep your head up, adjust what you can, keep track if symptoms and battle on. We've got yer back, er feet. Jon

Pinkynose, A few weeks ago I have been in a very similar situation, and frustrating would be an understatement!
I hope you would find a better doctor and get the answers you are looking for. Hey, don’t insult the mechanics! I highly appreciate my mechanic, he helped me more than most of the doctors…. |

Pinky Nose the only thing I was told about controlling PN was to keep my sugar down, exercise, rest, control stress and yes don't cross my legs what's told that at physical therapy. I hope with following a plan the fibers and all else involved will heal they push lyrica Gabapentin, etc.

I appreciate your responses more than you'll know. I am feeling much better today about the whole experience, which is what it was. I have regrouped and will carry on. Yesterday I just kept singing a song by Chumbawamba "I get knocked down But I get up again You're never going to keep me down!"
It is now a ringtone on my phone. (Of course it is a song that references a lot of drinking, but I just take what I like and leave the rest |

Pinkynose: I had a similar experience. My general neuro referred me to a neuromuscular specialist who said he thought my symptoms were due to circulatory issues related to my varicose vein disease.
I then went to a vascular surgeon who said that I do have pretty bad varicose vein disease and she recommended surgery to correct it to the extent possible. However, she did not think that the vascular issues were causing my other symptoms. Of course, just like you - I have other symptoms throughout the body that are clearly unrelated to the vein issues in my legs. I'm not sure why these specialists like to grab onto one symptom and theorize a cause - while seemingly forgetting about all the other symptoms you have. |
