Have you considered an expert chiropractor, or adv PT that has a low level laser ( also called soft laser or cold laser)??

If an injury was involved perhaps a nerve is pinched or some misalignment?
The chiro I went to adjusted any & all joints as needed and used LLLT (laser) also, it worked well on my Plantar fasciitis.

--and can tolerate a little travel, I would recommend contacting the Cornell-Weill Center for Peripheral Neuropathy (Cornell and Columbia are part of the New York Presbyterian hospital system) in Manhattan. It is one of the most comprehensive clinical research centers in the world for neuropathy, and they absolutely do a major long initial examination, and lots of testing.

Hi Glenntaj,

Is there a particular neurologist you recommend at Cornell-Weill Center for Peripheral Neuropathy? Is it difficult to get an initial appointment or a long waiting list? I'm having trouble finding a knowledgeable, reliable, open-minded neurologist to help with my type of neuropathy. My case really needs further investigating and different treatment options... I've been getting worse and am really so scared.

Thanks

--is Dr. Russel Chin, who not only had done a lot of research work in autoimmune and other neuropathies, but actually has a sense of humor for a neurologist (a very rare quality).

He absolutely gave me the most thorough physical exam--not just neurological--I ever had the first time I went there (almost two hours).

Indeed, though, the waiting lists there are quite long, and the doctors there don't take every insurance plan. But I think anyone trained at Cornell-Weill/Columbia Presbyterian and having the resources of those facilities would be a reasonable person to see. (You can request to be put on a cancellation list, if you have the capability of dropping everything and going in there on very short notice.)
