I got five opinions from five different orthopedic and neurosurgeons before having my laminectomy, including Emory University in Atlanta. I decided on my spine surgeon who is local and I have been very pleased with his skill and the care I have received. I don't think there is a "cure" for neuropathy in the feet as I am experiencing now. I just keep hoping to find something to help with balance and gait. From what I read here on Mayo Connect, there are thousands of people just like me.... searching for that elusive "solution."
