Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

I was diagnosed with CRPS, is anyone familiar with that? Recently I was seen by a new orthopedic surgeon who believed I was misdiagnosed and he sent me to a spine specialist, who said I needed cervical spine surgery but there was no guarantee that it would stop my leg pain. I have requested a visit at Mayo Clinic and I am waiting to see if I am accepted.

Welcome @finny4606, There is another discussion on CRPS that you might find helpful here:

@jenniferhunter started another discussion that I think you may also find helpful since you mentioned cervical spine surgery was recommended with no guarantees that it would help with your leg pain:

Did the spine specialist refer you to Mayo Clinic?

I was diagnosed with CRPS after too many surgeries on my foot/ankle started causing phantom pain. It has slowly calmed down over the last 12+ years but walking barefoot or sleeping with my legs together (side sleeper) is uncomfortable still.
