Wrong Diagnosis

About 90 days ago, I began feeling “pins and needles” in my lower left leg, particularly at night. Researching the symptoms, I “self diagnosed “ peripheral neuropathy. I found a routine of exercises for this. As my symptoms continued, I saw my primary doc. He sent me for ultrasounds, prescribed 2 meds and said we would meet virtually in 10 days. He diagnosed RLS. When we met in 10 days, my symptoms were no better. He sent we to a vascular doc who diagnosed varicose veins. I said to him, “ My mother suffered with varicose veins. His response was, “That’s why you have them!” He performed a vein ablation. My leg is 75-80% better. I had another ultrasound and will see him again after Christmas.
