Thanks for your good advice. I would not recommend my neurologist to you, he is not interested in neuropathy patients and just wants to get them out of his office. However, one of the best neuropathy specialists in the world, is Dr Anne Oaklander at Massachusetts General Hospital. I’m sure you have to wait a year to see her. My neuropathy is not so bad that I want to go to that trouble. I probably won’t see any neurologist again, but maybe a back doctor who can verify that my back is contributing, as you advised.

Trust me, I fully understand the Bad Taste one can get in their mouth dealing with various Drs. I personally am not a fan of any of them right now. Or the medical system as a whole. I'm actually not a neuropathy patient. And the circumstances leading to my current situation. Are long and convoluted as they many times become. As the devil is generally in the details and they grow quickly. So at this point I'm just looking for him to confirm. That a Radiculopathy of the Lumbar spine L5 S1 to be exact can localize to the foot without radiating down the entire leg. I've found multiple examples online and that's actually what the Neurologist I saw initially stated. Not that exactly, but that my symptoms localized to L5 S1 with small participation of L4. And the story as I stated is Much larger than this... So I understand your not Referring him and actually are Not a fan, which I get. But I have my reasons for asking. I would appreciate it though. Just name and city I'll take it from there 😉
