Hello @crisp358, Welcome to Connect. It sounds like you have a few things going on with your health that is definitely affecting your quality of life. I think it's a good idea to discuss your symptoms, possible causes and treatments for relief with your PCP and possibly ask about a referral to a specialist. While we wait for member with some similar experience to respond, I thought you might want to scan through the search results for discussions and comments on Connect for "neuropathy +abdominal pain" - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/?search=neuropathy++%2Babdominal+pain++

I did find some recently published research from Jan 2024 that seems to be similar to your symptoms.
--- Can Small Fiber Neuropathy Explain the Overlap Gastrointestinal and Non-gastrointestinal Symptoms in Some Irritable Bowel Syndrome Patients?: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10774798/

There is some information on planning your conversation with your PCP on one of my favorite sites that you might find helpful - https://www.patientrevolution.org/tools. Do you normally write down a list of questions to take to your appointments with your PCP?

Thank you for the information! I plan to write down my symptoms and questions for my appointment with my PCP next week so I can make sure I address all of my concerns.
