I am a 38 year old female,In Nov, 1997 I noticed lumps in my right foot I went to My personal
physician who sent me to an orthopedic surgeon who said, after looking it up because
he couldn't remember what it were called , gave me a diagnosis of Neurofibromatosis.
He said there was nothing more could be done and released me from his care. The lumps
or fibromas are now in my right arm and leg and very painful I might add. I have now
seen a neurologist who can't say if it is or is not NF because I have only three
cafe-au-liat spots .I had an MRI of my right foot and the fibromas are very dark
and was said to have been solid. If it's not NF I was not given an alternative
diagnosis.Should I look for another DR.?
