Follow up with Dr.: The neurologist can evaluate and may order an imaging scan if another is needed. A physical medicine doctor can also help. If there is a lesion on the scan that needs surgical treatment, a neurosurgeon gets involved. These cases sometimes are helped by second opinions. Situations are too complex for a public forum.
