Re: What can I expect?

I had a nerve test 3.5 years ago . It didn't show anything. also I had a MRI to rule out MS . I recently back to my family Dr. He has thought all along that it was neuropathy. He set up an appointment with a Neurologist. I saw him this past Monday and he ran no tests. I have no Insurance and he said since it is not due to diabetic reasons that no matter how many test he runs I will probally never know the cause. He said I have irreversible Damage in my feet. And that my balance is going to stay like it is. He said keep my cain with me for safty. I have had several hard falls in the last yr due to my balance and the fact that I tend to drag my feet.I think I have them up high enough and I stump the bottom of my foot on the ground or hang my toe in something.Also just standing still anyone can just brush against me and I willstart to fall . After the Dr. told me these things I just kind of went blank and didn't ask questions. He gave me Cymbalta to try for one month . It is an antidepresant and also used for nerve pain. So I wonder is the only treatment just for pain?
