Going to a Neurophysiologist

My wife has finally convinced me to go to a Neurophysiologist for my legs.  

Since my heart failure diagnosis in the summer of 2004, my legs have bothered me a great deal.  Of course I lost lean mass all over, but my legs lost more than the rest of my body.

Then I started having issues when I lie down or put my feet up.  My top of my thighs ache and on bad days they ache so much they burn.  It seems to just be the top of my thighs.  

My wife went with me when I went to my heart failure specialist recently and she brought this up with him.  My doctor said he had not heard of this for heart failure so it must be something else.  We discussed that it could be a circulatory issue or a nerve issue.  

Since my oxygen runs at 98% when they check it, they concluded I should go to a Neurophysiologist.

So I have an appointment for December 4 for a consultation.  I don't expect to get the answer that day, but we will wait and see.

I had my TL a little more than a year ago when my third child was born via c-section. I was not told ANYTHING about the possible side effects of having this procedure. Since then I have experienced heavy bleeding lasting sometimes 3 weeks out of the month, weight gain, severe mood swings. Severe cramping, changes to my libido, severe depression accompanied by suicidal thoughts, headaches, migraines, many new symptoms & older issues are now exacerbated. The father of two of my children doesn't want me anymore. I've become too much of a pain in the ass I guess. We don't talk. We don't sleep in the same bed. I think he might really think I am crazy... & maybe I am. I feel crazy a lot of the time.
I'm unpredictable. I feel so angry about the whole thing & now what was once a mild fear of doctors has exploded into full on white coat syndrome that causes me to have a panic attack/hypertensive emergency (severe increase in blood pressure) whenever I have to deal with them. I'm not sure what to do... I fear the next time I have to see a doctor I'll have a stroke or a heart attack from the stress & anxiety of it... what do I do? I take my time and keep searching on internet looking for natural healing that how I came across Dr Itua herbal center website and I was so excited when Dr Itua told me to calm down that he will help me with his natural remedy I put my hope on him so I purchase his herbal medicines which was shipped to my address I used it as prescribed guess what? I'm totally healed my cramp pain is gone completely I also used his Anti Bacteria herbal medicines it's works for me very well I want anyone with health problem to contact Dr Itua herbal center for any kind diseases remedies such as Parkinson, Herpes, ALS, MS, Diabetes, Hepatitis, Hiv/Aids,Cancers, Men & Women Infertility, I got his email address  drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com he has any kind of herbal remedies for women & men also for our babes. I really miss my Hunni...he's a fantastic father & a good man. He doesn't deserve this. I feel like an empty shell of who I used to be.
