This was very interesting and encouraging. I have axonal peripheral neuropathy with kappa light-chain MGUS. Waiting 6 months for my next set of routine tests is pretty anxiety-producing as the neuropathy continues to progress. It started in the soles of my feet and toes in July 2023 and now goes above the knees in both legs, sometimes mildly up my thighs. So I'm not thrilled about waiting for blood tests to confirm - what? LC-MGUS? We already know that.

But maybe there will be a treatment to help repair axonal damage, especially if the source of the damage can also be quashed.

(I seem to be an anomaly with LC-MGUS and PN. But other potential causes of neuropathy were ruled out.)

People here with physical nerve damage due to trauma in their spine will experience neuropathy. On my MRI reports they mention arachnoiditis and stenosis. Has anyone here had that diagnosis and then had a spine surgeon correct those conditions? If so did that reduce or eliminate the assocated neuropathy? Is it possible to fix arachnoiditis and stenosis with a minimaly invasive procedure?

So, why is it that some with neuropathy complain of tingling and numbness, but not pain? I would gladly trade my pain (anywhere between 7-9 now) for tingling and numbness. Riddle me that.
