It was a "Vascular Surgeon" that found my blockages in my Iliac artery and also the veins of my legs. This could be another doctor for you to check out. I had an EMG to check the nerves and muscles in my lower back and legs, Doppler test and Angiogram to find the calcification and blocked veins. A Neurosurgeon can also order the tests but only a vascular surgeon or cardiologist do the angiograms to check circulation. JEAN
By being only what "you" are, you can awaken each morning to a new day that's an opportunity to seek whatever you want- with no previous deceptions to get in your way. -----Original Message----- From: adhesions@adhesions.org [mailto:adhesions@adhesions.org]On Behalf Of Nancy E.

Hello Buddy:
No, no one has suggested a neurologist, and other than possible involvement of the nerves, muscles, and circulation to my legs with the adhesions, I don't believe there is any possibility of nerve damage. My hands and feet are always cold, and yes, at times, I do wake up with hands and arms "asleep". I've tried to recreate the sensations, can't do it myself, and my reflexes have always tested good. Another "Mystery in the Maritimes" ;)
Hugs,
Nancy in NB
