[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH had lower leg/foot pain for years. He spent 2020-2025 and thousands of dollars getting spine related treatments.  After all, he had sciatica, had a disc operation and had scoliosis.  MUST be back.  He lived in terror and cure seeking and medication seeking because of his spine terror.  Injections, nerve blocks, facet joint ablations...Also podiatists for orthotics.

Finally went to an ankle doc at WOSM.  Said I don't think it's your back go see this guy for a nerve conduction study.  Turns out it was a pinched nerve in his lower leg.  Not back at all.

But it had been left untreated so long the damage was permanent.  Dry needling and massge helps now. He gets that weekly. But no spine fusions![/quote]

OP here. Thank you for this. At some point I was sent to a neurosurgeon for an evaluation and he was the first one to say that he was not sure my problems were coming from the spine and suggested to go back to a ‘regular’ neurologist. I am at the point that I really want to get a correct diagnosis especially to avoid unnecessary treatments  [/quote]

Have you tried a getting a recommendation to a neurologist with a clinical neuromuscular or nuerophysiology subspecialty? [/quote]

OP here. My PCP decided to send me to a center specialized in neurological disorders; you can get in only through referral and cannot pick the provider for the screening. I looked up the dr I am assigned to but the description is very vague. My first appointment is next week so we will see how it goes [/quote]

Good luck.

This will help you receive the proper treatment longterm.
