Also, I find that I have stomach issues and bloating and some slight constipation / IBS issues when I get a flare up - tried low FODMAP and that diet helps and goes hand in hand with a "clean" diet ..... also I find tea especially, and coffee to a degree gives me more pain or stomach upset so i avoid tea and only coffee about three times a week. I drink green tea other times and sometimes decaf green tea.

Hello Dave @dave11, Welcome to Connect. Here's some information on the symptoms of proximal neuropathy that may provide some answers:

"Can neuropathy affect one side of the body?
Proximal neuropathy is a rare and disabling type of nerve damage in your hip, buttock, or thigh. This type of nerve damage typically affects one side of your body and may rarely spread to the other side. Proximal neuropathy is more common in men than in women and more common in people older than age 50."
