Hi everyone it has been a long time coming but I'm back from the Neurologist and all great news. Both scans clear of any lesions and no sign of early dementia or seizures. Originally i was told by my GP that the pain in my thigh, shin and groin was due to the peripheral neuropathy but my neurologist ordered an MRI of my back and sure enough 2 bulging discs causing the nerve pain. My new neurologist also performed a nerve test and found no signs of neuropathy. Go figure. ... Don't know how one could find it and other not.
The good news is treatment for my herniated discs and i should be right. The Neurologist thinks the few episodes i have had like DejaVu and confusion might be an aura like what people have before a seizure.

I would like to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your help and support. My heart goes out to those of you who remain battling with your illnesses.

Phil

That is great news Phil. It is great that you were able to get to the root cause of your problem. Something we are all trying desperately to figure out. I haven't read your prior threads so apologies but curious how did you start by thinking this was neuropathy? Had it been confirmed by skin biopsy or it was just based on clinical symptoms?

Hi franklin.
I started with numbness in bottom of left foot then stocking feeling up shin. I was sent to a neurologist and he conducted a nerve test with electrodes and measured the readings. From that he told me i had peripheral neuropathy. Since then i started to get bad pain in my groin, though and shin on the same leg.
My knew neurologist did the same test and said the readings were normal.

That's great!
How are you feeling.
What's the treatment and prognosis?
Which lumbar discs are they?

I'm thrilled for you Phil. Best of luck in your treatment.

Thanks Healthgirl i can't remember. Five are degerated and two are herniated. I remember that there was a gap of 2 between the 2 herniated ones. I will ask next week when i go in for the injections.

Hi Phil

Well done on getting an accurate diagnosis - and in a relatively short time. With everything I've read here from others, and my own experience, I've wondered about the accuracy of the nerve conduction tests to diagnose PN.

Hope the treatment works and you get some relief soon. Don't forget to come back and tell us what they did and how you get on.

Thank you bluesfan. Will keep you posted.

Its possible that some conditions can cause PN-LIKE symptoms. like bulging discs and spinal problems. i suspect that may be behind some of my neuropathy as well, unfortunately i already run through the guantlet of specialists, neuro include and the last 2 dint do anything to help.

Thank you. Will certainly get back on here as things develop.
