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.

I have severe small fiber neuropathy/periferal neuropathy that Thad spread throughout my body, face and head.
I’ve barely ever stand alcohol in my life so although it may be a contributing factor to some, it wasn’t for me.
Synthetic B6 often found in energy drinks, supplements and hidden in some coffee can contribute highly.
Cut out all synthetic meds/supplements.
We aren’t all made the same IOW we all process and methylate things differently.
I also encourage you to see a NATURALPATH and have your MTHFR checked out.
If your HOMOZYGOUS or Compound Heterozygous, this could be the underlying reason 🙏
