Why won't anyone listen

2 Replies

My god, why won't any of the drs listen to what I'm saying. I can't live with this constant tugging, pulling, electric current feeling up and down leg, continual ache and pain, jerking constantly,( also have restless legs from it).......I can't do it anymore. WEnt and had nerve study tests, he said it was L4 causing it, that report went to neurologist who wrote a letter to gp saying its nots much shouldn't be causing her this much trouble.....wtf......how does he know what I am feeling. So nothing done there. I have a phone apt with neurosurgeon today, my last hope.......if he says there is nothing to be done.......I afraid I can't live my life like this........

Because the doctors think they know everything so you should get a second opinion if you haven't already

And as you know, there's no cure for neuropathy. All they can do is give you more drugs to help with the pain. My neurologist gave me carbomazepine and he didn't want to give me anything else because I had bad symptoms when he gave me the other ones and all they give you are antidepressants anyway. He did give me buspar but that didn't do anything either. My naturalpathic doctor gave me naltrexone but it cost me too much money and my insurance doesn't cover it but that wasn't helping me either. Good luck finding a doctor that will help you
