I am okay with a doctor telling me that they can't help me...but not after spending only five or six minutes with me. Several years ago, my first neurologist spent an hour and a half with me, asking questions, writing down notes by hand on a yellow, legal pad. Had me do many walking exercises. All kinds of reflex tests. Finally came up with the meds helped me get my life back. I certainly don't expect any neurologist these days to spend that kind of time, but five or six minutes is not acceptable.

I was lucky too to find a neurologist that did a full exam and ordered lots of blood work and other tests.
She made a definite diagnosis then stopped B6 that was very toxic and then started a medication that has almost eliminated my feet pain. Now my feet just have a funny feeling.
This is the advice I share with all people that I have encountered here and on my travels.
The medical term idiopathic means “Pertaining to an illness of uncertain or undetermined cause.” Medical science does not know the cause and it it labeled idiopathic.
