Infant Limitied To No Use Of Legs, Had Several Tests, No Neuroposy. What Should Be The Next Step For Cure?

MY 18 year old daughter has limitied to no use of her legs. We have had numerous tests done for various conditions. At this point we have had test done for PAES, Compartment Syndrome , Lymes Disease, Thryroid, Nerve Conduction, Skin biopsy . We are really at our wits end. The neurologist we are seeing says that there are no neuroposy. Can you suggest any other test or specialist. The pain from the begining has been from her knees down, burning, throbbing, feet falling asleep. As of last week, it has now spread to her thighs and and back.

Hi, it appears that it is due to the compression of the sciatic nerve at the hipbone, as it may be minimal, first upto the knee, and now crawing up. I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.
I to my patients with such symptoms prescribe Neurotropic injections for 5 consecutive days, antibiotics, prtiolytics , antiinflamatories, and neurotropic tablets, till some diagnosis is confirmed.
Thank you.
