I was dx with peripheral neuropathy last summer 2024. Idiopathic. Have recently noted increasing pain,cramps in my feetwhen working out in the hot springs in my area. Water temp is about 92 degrees. Has anyone experienced this phenomenon? What to do?

Hello @mrgirl, Welcome to Connect. Sorry to hear that you have joined the neuropathy club. I also have idiopathic small fiber peripheral neuropathy but don't have any pain, just some numbness. I have had leg cramps that sometimes come with a little pain but it's mostly if I haven't stayed hydrated and drinking more water helped me. I imagine I would need a lot more water if I was working out in hot springs.

For neuropathy symptoms in general, the best thing you can do to help yourself is to learn as much as you can about your condition and what treatments are available that may provide some form of relief. Lots of experience here on Connect. There are many different discussions in the Neuropathy Support Group that you might find helpful - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/neuropathy/.

What symptoms do you have with your neuropathy?
