Also, has your neurologist checked your bloodwork for neurological deficiencies or toxicities of vitamins/minerals, do you smoke/drink, are you diabetic, or have you been exposed to toxins in your life? This can cause many neurological issues. Have you tried taking Acetyl l carnitine, alpha Lipoic acid and magnesium supplements or used capsaicin or lidocaine creams for the pain? Do you take a probiotic for your gastrointestinal issues and have you seen a gastroenterologist? You may also benefit from seeing a nutritionist to help you improve your diet and reduce inflammation.

Yes, they did the blood work as well, and it didn't show anything abnormal. I'm not diabetic, and I've never smoked or consumed alcohol either.
My GP recommended me to add Alpha Lipoic Acid to my growing list of supplements that I take a few weeks ago, and I think it has lessened the pain by a little bit.
I drove a truck for 35+ years, so I can't think of any toxins that I might have been exposed too. The blood tests didn't show anything anyway.
I've been taking a probiotic supplement for decades, and my gastroenterologist's test's were also negative.
