@pjfrahm I mostly use my phone for emailing and shopping, and I don't know how to share links. I mentioned a discussion, and see it in the neuropathy group. The discussion is Member Neuropathy Journey Stories: What's Yours?

Having multiple issues sure can make it a challenge to treat them all without drug interactions. Last week I met with a neurospecialist to discuss the possibility of a DRG stimulator implant, but before we got to that, she showed me the MRI I had done several months ago. I was supposed to have spoken with her about it long ago, but Covid19 delayed everything. She showed me the spinal stenosis which is impinging the cluster of nerves in my spinal column, and quite possibly causing some of the pain in my feet. I'd love to have the surgery done ASAP, but I can't be recovering from surgery when I have so much to do all summer. I can't just tell the garden and landscaping to understand why they won't be getting watered. I am hopeful that the work on my back will reduce my pain. It sounds like you need a great doctor like this neurospecialist. She doesn't limit her perspective to only the small field of neuropathy, or only to treating the symptoms.

So, I'm enduring the pain until the end of September. It helps to have a goal like that.

Gotta get to sleep.
