Collaborative communication between and care by health care providers?

Hi Swanson2023,

Interesting question, as I sit here a wee bit cold watching my dogs romp, I read my Mayo clinic connect so when I leave for my doctor's I have good questions for my doctor. For the most part for mydoctors that think my neuropathy is 'a given' like my arthritis, I move on. So, I ask questions, wait for answers. If the goal is not for me to be in the least pain, then I move on to the next. I do not want pills as the first answer either. What are realistic expectations for pain reduction?

Thank you
After experiencing the neurologist tell me I have neurology, I paused, then they said walk 30 minutes a day, I do. Provided no insight into cause, treatment-other than walking, or how to live with it.
I started searching on the internet and discovered the cause, medication, possible ways to heal the nerves (supplements, treatments) and ways to deal with neuropathy.
I became the coordinator of the communication between providers. As a nonprofessional, I need help with coordination - still looking - hopeful- your responses reveal the need to keep on keeping on - for others’ sake, mine too.
