Hello Daisy, You should probably go see a neurologist, as they have the right expertise, although nobody in the medical community has the answers we want, as there is as yet no cure. However, it's useful to be talking with someone whose specialty covers neuropathy. Good luck with your search.

You should see an orthopedic spine specialist for an evaluation and X-ray and MRI of your lumbar spine to check for compression of spinal cord/nerve roots. This can cause symptoms in back, hip, buttocks, legs and feet.

You can also see an orthopedic hip specialist for a MRI of your hips/pelvis to check for any tendinopathy or soft tissue injuries.

Neurologists only test and give medication that does not cure but only treats symptoms. Many times, these medications don’t help and cause bad side effects.

Physical therapy may help but other pain management/treatment options may be available to you.

I totally agree with the people saying go to neurologist. I wasted 10 years with orthopedic doctors who just wanted to operate inject yada yada they never got to the bottom of it. Meanwhile, my nerve loss of feeling has gotten much worse, and I finally been connected to neurologist. It’s a world of difference you need nerve conduction studies. That’s the only way they can pinpoint what’s wrong. Stay away from the orthopedic doctors until you consult with the neurologist.

Hi Miss Daisy!

Don’t wait. Another trip to see her won’t change what is going on with you previously and to date. She’s probably been this way her entire career. Don’t worry about hurting her feelings if you cancel the appointment. She’s probably never even going to realize. Advocate for your health and protect yourself from doctors like her. You’re letting her control your quality of life. 😉
