What doctor ( neurologist) are you going to? I have only met Dr. Lazarus twice. He is with Atlanta Neuroscience Institute. All my appointments were with his NP. They specialize in MS, Parkinson’s disease,etc. So I was an outlier as I don’t have any other ailments and I’m not diabetic so idiopathic in both feet is my Dx.
I’ve had 3 EMG’s over the past 10 years, They did a spinal MRI last summer and all was normal.
It’s my only my feet and they are deteriorating,specially the past 2 years.
Yesterday I went to a chiropractor who did Cold Laser Therapy. You don’t get immediate results - its done over several visits - 40.00 a pop, 10 minutes then 5 of icing.
I saw a practice advertisement up in Woodstock ( another chiropractor) that uses red light therapy. So that’s another option.
Re:,Sponal cord implant ..did you have that done ? There is no way I’d agree to that as a way to manage pain. I got a second opinion and he said absolutely not. The risks involved outweigh a potential benefit.
I’m panicking as I return to work next week( I’ve been out on short term disability) My job is hard enough on a body with no problems. It’s 10X worse if you have foot problems as we are on our feet the entire time.
I see myself driving all over Metro Atlanta trying to find relief. I was extremely letdown after this last treatment that failed - I had high hopes.
Keep me posted - I hope between the 2 of us we find some relief.
