Title: See teh surgeon tomorrow
Post by: navydad on June 24, 2009, 08:49:12 AM
Thursday I see the surgeon the Neuro recommended to do the sural nerve biopsy on my foot,, to hopefully give us a better answer as to what is causing the wide spread neuropathy,, we allready kow from skin biopsys that I have reduced nerve fibers,, now they want to go in deeper and see if they can pin it down,, hear this guy is pretty good and the people who read the biopsys are supposed to be pretty good also,, hope they find something and its treatable,, i;m just getting so tired of fighting every day for answers to questions I dont even know how to ask

Good luck w/the surgeon app't. tomorrow.  I too hope that they will find some information about what is causing your widespread neuropathy.

Hang in there.

Hi Navydad,

I sure hope that everything went well, and I'll keep the digits crossed for a good outcome of the test. 

Take care my friend and keep us posted.

the surgeons visit was just that,, a visit, there doing the nerve biopsy next wednesday, he did tell me the left side of my foot will prob be numb the rest of my life,, no big deal,, its allready numb,, then stopped down to see my ENT, hes in the same building,, he spent a good half hour cleaning the junk,, and I do mean junk out of my sinuses,, stuff was like glue,, he cant figure out why i;m makig all this gunk,, if anyone cares to look him up,, his name is Dr. Barry Schaitkin,, one of the best in the country,, wish I had seen him two years ago before that other ENT/butcher operated on me,, two years this month that quack took a sharp rock to my face,, what a idiot, I should still sue the guy
