@dlydailyhope I had x-rays of cervical and lumbar spine. I was diagnosed with radiculopathy and neuropathy. Two different doctors, 2 different diagnoses.

X-rays do not show soft tissues, spinal cord, nerve roots, etc. and not used alone to diagnose neuropathy and radiculopathy. That requires MRI and EMG/nerve conduction studies plus small fiber neuropathy skin punch biopsy.
What did the 2 doctors recommend for next steps? Are you working with an orthopedic spine specialist and neurologist/neuromuscular specialist?
