Neuropathy is mainly caused by alcohol. It robs nerves of their insulating MYELIN. I learned about myelin after getting trigeminal neuralgia from blowing my sax too much as an 82 yr old. I have an artery rubbing on the trigeminal nerve . It has rubbed off myelin in one spot. If I like to pay $50,000 a brain surgeon will happily insert a packer between.
In the meantime pain is stopped with cabamazepine. Waiting on an MRI to confirm. Could be crowns to two cracked molars is the cause. Try heaps of METHYL COBALAMIN B12. And stop alcohol.
Good luck.
