Neurologist,  's  Response
Hi,

It may be well possible that there has been a spinal damage. However, if you need proof, I am afraid that simply contacting a neurologist, whether on this site or elsewhere is not enough, the diagnosis is confirmed through tests which can't be done online. So I understand your difficult situation regarding health insurance, but it is hard to prove anything without imaging tests like MRI. As for management it consists mainly of physical therapy and medication for neuropathic pain. After so much time it is doubtful that there would be any benefit from a surgical procedure (which again needs a MRI to determine whether there was any indication in the first place).

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
