Is neuropathy something i should ask about

I have an appointment on Monday in Liverpool arrowepark I've been researching possible links between my feminine issues and nerve issues. I currently have 2 dermoid cysts one on each side however have scar tissue from having a previous dermoid removed, it's got to the point where I find I difficult to walk, my leg goes from under me when I'm in pain, lower back pain and have suffered with bells palsy for the past 4 months which terrified me as I thought I was having a stroke putting my arms above my head just to check regularly which still comes and goes. It's affecting my balance as well with the muscle weakness being worse on one side of my body the side I'm missing half my ovary on. It says it's uncommon but without having the endo diagnosis yet it seems to fit alot of my symptoms rather than the doctors saying my sciatica, bells palsy and female issues (pcos, dermoids and fibroids) are stand alone issues. I was also born with an oversized pelvis. Any advice on this or any suggestions of what I should ask in Liverpool would be greatly appreciated I'm dreading it hopefully I don't have to start from day dot with them 😣
