That pretty much sounds like most of the physicians out there, including ones I've seen. So sad! I do hope you find someone new, who is intelligent, motivated and empathetic. A rare combination in physicians, though essential nevertheless.

Wait times are bad here too, worse than the US, so I know how frustrating it can be. Again, I do hope you get things moving along as quickly as possible given all the problems with the system there too. But it may be promising if your issue is mechanical and can be addressed. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Regarding a skin punch biopsy for SFN, if you think you have it, I'd say it's worth having it done, since it's so simple and non-invasive. I'm sure it will be a walk in the park for you, considering some of the other tests/procedures you've had or will have done.

He offered more Gabapentin. Long story short I fired him about 5 months ago and have not found another.

I was hoping that since it's looking like my lumbar is the cause perhaps it can all be resolved before permanent damage occurs. However, even if it's the cause, appointments take so long to get, yet alone scheduling a surgery. I am quite worried. I hadn't pursued getting a punch biopsy but I think I need one.
