“”docs aren’t sure what caused it””

That is really scary. We really have to do our own homework about ailments.

I diagnosed my neuropathy with painful/burning feet and the MD simply said, “possible.” I had to go to a podiatrist for a painful callus on one foot and told him about the pain and he said, “let’s check” and stuck needles in my feet with my eyes averted and said, “Yes - that’s neuropathy.”

I’ve since learned that you can also have it in your hands and that explains painful fingers and hands - like needles...Hope the person you mentioned gets some answers. That is really, really scary. I like to read in bed and have to put my book down when my hands cramp. I KNOW it’s going to happen but chance it!!! Kind of like the COPD diagnosis...know better but!!!!!!!
