Yes I have had all the tests the neurosurgeon ordered. According to him he found nothing that he could fix with surgery. Basically he said I might recover my ability to walk with extensive physical therapy. Funny thing is I’m numb but I’m not in pain. The other thing is I also have arthritis pretty bad in both knees and when I get them injected every three months I can almost walk without my walker. Or at least get around so much so easier and with no fear of my legs collapsing and falling. My knee doctor will not replace my knees until I have my neuropathy gone. I’m so frustrated because I believe I could regain my strength in my lower legs if I had new knees. The injections only make me stronger for about 3 weeks. The doctor will only due the injections every 3 months and I’m not sure but I think that is the insurance policy. Anyway my life is mostly just sitting watching tv and waiting for those 3 months to pass. Thanks for responding and best wishes to you.
