@birdman518 I just want to add she complained to her PCP of her burning sensation in both arms. He tried to help her by thinking it was neuropathy due to a lack of B12 so for many months he told her to take the supplement. She was very hopeful. She took it for almost a year before deciding it wasn’t helping. After a year of dealing with her burning pain her new PCP ordered an orthopedic consult. It was her orthopedic doctor who found the problems stemming from her shoulder joints due to the arthritis. My mother decided against the surgery to replace her joints because of her age. She is now almost 91 and still remains independent in her own apartment. I help with finding ways for her to complete tasks using devices for the lack of shoulder movement. She never did see a neurologist. Not sure if a neurologist would have been able to help her. I wish you well in finding the right answers. Good luck. Toni

Birdman, I hope you'll let us know how that first appointment went. I had my first appointment with a neurology RN last Monday. She sent me off to get blood drawn, and arranged for me to get a brain MRI (next Monday). Where all this is leading, I don't know. That's why I've added interest in your journey. ––Ray
