Really appreciate your comments, and it wasn't a Neuro-MRI, just standard, but still thought it would detect damage. I don't have diabetes, and the pain specialist hasn't discovered root cause of peripheral neuropathy. But in 2021, an orthopedic surgeon performed revision surgery (for botched tailor's bunion) and it was after that, gradually over time, the peripheral neuropathy appeared which has halted 90% of my walking.
This pain specialist actually recommended an orthopedic surgeon which I thought was strange too. Passing the buck? I'm going to have him call me today for any other options. Very angry also about getting the run-around when my acute pain is so debilitating, I feel like a cripple when I used to be totally active, and enjoying life.
