I have small fiber neuropathy and do not have diabetes. I also have osteoarthritis and various issues with spine and neck. The drugs they give for neuropathy do nothing for numbness, unfortunately. If you have burning and tingling and pain with it, they will likely prescribe gabapentin or other medication to help with that. You are likely in the right place for good advice. Mayo also has other support groups for spinal issues.

I keep being asked by Dr what my pain level is. I have numbness, sensitivity to touch along specific leg and foot pathways. It seems like if I don’t have pain, Dr don’t know what to do.
