@suzed Ouch was the first word out of my mouth! And a head nod, as it seems we share several symptoms. I have had MRIs, too. In my situation, neuropsthy is the result of complications from multiple myeloma, and the spinal cord nerve sheath issues surrounding that. In the attached article, many different causes of the neuropathy are addressed. In my experience, many doctors fall back on what they are most familiar with, and have a difficult time looking beyond that.

Do you have any of the underlying causes the article states, that might be contributing to your distress?
