A GOOD podiatrist can be ever so valuable.
My own experience is proof...he encouraged me to get a second neurologist opinion and I did, I got tested, diagnosed properly and treated!
I won't go with any thoughts about what Could have happened w/Ex Neuro! Too scary.
I used to love the foot bath, but my PN now gets very uppity at the sessions now... I don't miss them really.
I am not cut ever...only toenails trimmed and calouses same. Blood is never drawn..ever.
POdiatrists are also very good about orthotics and won't or shouldn't prescribe them unless you really need them. Their goal is to have your feet as happy as they can be. Granted w/PN that isn't always as happy as we all would like. - j
