Hello @dejavu, Welcome to Connect. It's really the pits to have to wait 8 weeks to see a neurologist but that's unfortunately more common than us patients expect. My neuropathy is mostly in my legs and feet and then no pain, just numbness and some tingling. There are quite a few members who have mentioned neuropathy pain in their hands and feet if you want to look through the discussions and comments while you wait for others to respond. Here's a link that lists the discussions and comments - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/discussions/?search=neuropathy%20pain%20in%20hands%20and%20feet.

Hoping you get some more answers when you see the neurologist. In the mean time, I would keep learning as much as you can about neuropathy and what treatments may provide relief. One of the better sources of information is the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy - https://www.foundationforpn.org/.

You mentioned your feet started feeling cold, tingly and numb similar to your hands a few months later. Wondering if your doctors checked your blood circulation. Do the hands and feet look blueish?
