Hello @thomas2427, Welcome to Connect. While you wait for members who may have some experience with the Weill Cornell Neuropathy Center or the Princeton Spine & Joint Center I thought I would share some information on a condition that can cause symptoms similar to what you describe.

You might also find the following discussion helpful that sounds similar to what you have shared:

You mentioned having 2 MRIs and think you may have nerve damage at L4, L5 but it's not confirmed. Did your doctor suggest seeing a neurologist or other specialist?

Hi John,
Thanks for the reply, and the links. Trying to get in to see a neurologist unfortunately, we have a severe shortage of family doctors and specialists here in Ontario, Canada, as well as most of the country. Sad to say, but our "free" medical system in Canada is not very good and getting worse all the time. No specialist appointments for 6 months or more than 1 year. I may have to go to a US clinic instead, that's why I was asking.
Cheers,
Thomas
