Neuropathy: I'm not sure whether your symptoms are due to a radiculopathy from a herniated disc fragment or whether there is a peripheral neuropathy that's responsible. Without insurance you're not likely to want to pay for an MRI or EMG. Gabapentin may be worth trying empirically for symptom relief.
