Just was wondering, have any of the docs did tests for circulation and/or neuropathy?
My mom is diabetic, has high blood pressure,has peripheal vascular disease and a touch of arthritis in her one knee.
She suffers with leg and back pain, goes for PT but is now having a MRA to detect if there is thickening of the arterial walls causing inadequate circulation, it has been detected in one foot by a test her podiatrist did, which lead us to have her seen by cardiologist so he referred us to a vascular specialist, Fri. so we'll see.
Has any of your docs tested for any circulatory related problems? May not be a bad idea, just to rule out any PVD, which often can be improved with stent(s) or angioplasty.
I wish you lots of luck with this, and for relief soon.
Take care,
DE
