Also have you had blood work testing your b12,diabetes,auto immune etc? I encourage you to ask for a complete blood work. What type of doctor are you seeing? I hope you get some answers and relief.
Thanks for your help Daniella, I have had my blood tested with no red flags. A few months ago I had back problems. I had a MRI of my lumbar and they suspect an infection in my L3-L4 vertebrae. I am suppose to see an infectious doctor this coming week. Maybe this is the cause. If this is the cause and it is taken care of, do you think the PN will stop and nerves will regenerate or is it where if the damage is done, it is done? I am only 34, with kids, husband, and working as a teacher. I am nervous to go back in the fall with all these symptoms.
