I will keep up with this thread. My husband suffers with leg problems. He has trouble walking and has fluid in his legs and feet. He is diabetic and had a double bypass 4 years ago. No tick bites so far as we know.

He has been to at least 4 doctors trying to figure out why he has so much trouble walking and pain that comes and goes in his feet and legs. Not one of the doctors has called it neuropathy but that is what I diagnosed from WebMd. None of the doctors have called it anything, they just send him on to another doctor. Very disappointing.

I can't stress this enough: YOU NEED TO GET NEW DOCTORS, RIGHT NOW.

If your husband is diabetic and his doctors don't know what's causing his neuropathy, they simply aren't competent, PERIOD. Diabetic neuropathy is progressively degenerative and EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. More than half of diabetics develop it. It isn't rare and his doctors should have known right away.
