I'm so happy to hear that your back pain is better and you're healing well. I'm sorry to hear about your leg and foot problems. Since you live in Florida, can you get your neurosugeon to refer you to the Mayo Clinic there? Perhaps you have already tried, but if not I recommend it. Also consider whether traveling to another state to get a diagnosis and see an excellent doctor sooner would be a good thing to do. I too do a lot of research on physicians before I go to them. I hope you find what you need and get relief from your leg weakness and ankle problems.

Thank you for the suggestion about Mayo. I have a blanket referral for a neurologist since we did not know where I would be able to get an appointment.
I think I will try Mayo. I have nothing to lose. I was rejected 3 or 4 times when I couldn't get help with my cervical and lumbar pain.
Depending what the outcome is, I would not rule out going to another state.
My daughter in law works for Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. I will have that as another option.
Have a geeat evening!
