I have progressive peripheral neuropathy after aggressive PT after my lumbar stenosis therapy. EMG indicate an ongoing demyelination. I requested a neurology consult but only received an e-consult by Dr.Dyck who never saw me, examined me or listened to my history. Another neurologist felt that my problems were due to pre-diabetes(HgA1C 5.8 or less with random non-fasting BS less than 110), alcohol intake(6-10 ounces of red wine every evening.
I recently requested a neurology appointment for a thorough evaluation but was denied by Mayo Neurology. I always thought that Mayo Clinic looks for difficult cases that others have given up on, but I guess that I was mistaken.
I would be grateful for any assistance in finding a provider that would be interested in doing a “thorough hands-on evaluation.

@tymish17 - Neuropathy Commons has a list of specialists on their site here - https://neuropathycommons.org/experts-directory/us. I'm not sure how beneficial an appointment would be if you already have a diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy since there is no cure. There are a lot of different treatments that can provide relief from the symptoms though. The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has a fairly comprehensive list here, including complementary and alternative treatments - https://www.foundationforpn.org/treatments/.
