I've been rec'd to have all sorts of surgeries. I already had one to repair foot drop, that never fully repaired it and was a bad surgery for me. I've been recommended to have back, surgery on both ulnar nerves, on both wrists to address the carpel tunnel that hasn't gone away since about 2016 and a couple of others that I can't think of of the top of my head. I do have cervical and spine issues but nothing severe enough from mri's that docs thought was the cause of all of the neuropathy. Blood work has all checked out fine. I started taking the gabapentin after the second or third emg to address symptoms as it was starting to get pretty painful. Cardiovascular has been ruled out. Just some sort of autonomic dysfunction happening that has been noted given other symptoms I had too like ocular issue that has happened randomly, hard muscles, severe spasms, twitching, atrophy, throat issues(closing up randomly), and the list goes on. Most of these have all been chalked up to some type of neuro cause. Symptoms of some things started at childhood, was part of the reason I was knocked out of a combat role in the military, and really progress in my early 30s. I'm bound to do small things now. Any time I increase activity I get put down for a day, two, or three. Genetic tests found a mutation in a gene associated with ALS type 4 but was ruled out given the single mutation.

There is a lot there. So I do not believe the neuropathy is just gone especially given that I still very much have they neuropathy symptoms. But this doc thinks they know all and it has frustrated the heck out of me. I should have never agreed to see this one as I wasn't supposed to see them in the first place but I decided to proceed anyway. This doc just did the one partial EMG, said no neuropathy, and that's it LOL. Not all docs are good. And it seems like med school these days may be doing a disservice to alot of these new doctors teaching them to focus on keywords that they hear and not looking at the whole picture (or in this case not looking at medical records at all). It's pretty sad for me to see a lot of these new docs trained to not think outside of the box.
