I have what I assumed was PN in my hands as I have it in my feet and lower legs. I also have cervical and lumbar radiculopathy, which causes so much pain in my arms and shoulders. I just recently started with tremors in my hands and an inability to hold onto utensils. I mentioned this to my doctor's Nurse Practitioner but she just put it off to an irritated nerve. I would like to see a neurologist but at my age (78) they probably would say don't bother.

Not the ones that respect patients... and themselves. It is hard to be your own advocate when you are looking for care, but take heart from the octogenarians you encounter on Connect who have overcome the hesitancy. You are worth it!
