No. Any loss of sensation or feeling in any part of the body for whatever reason, pinch nerve is the main thing, is considered neuropathy. I have severe back issues and will get neuropathy in my thighs if I stand too long in one place. I also have a pinched nerve in my neck that leads that numbness across my left shoulder. I'm receiving chemotherapy and neuropathy comes with that too but it's hard to discern which because I had neuropathy before I started chemo.

@carol1024 Funny you mentioned the nerves and such. If that is the case in 2025. I have had L1-L2-L3-L4 blown in my lower back and C2 in my neck "To date are still herniated" with no surgery in the future. At the ending of 2025 I have in a two week period have had UTI in my kidney and they seen I had a stone in there. I have had an infection in my left ankle that they can't do anything about right now and it has gone from a small hole to the size of my thumb. My right ankle is going through hell due to the doctor telling me that it sounds like Neuropathy but they can not pinpoint it fursure. I have been hospitalized for my kidney twice in the last two weeks and still nothing for both my ankles but guess work. Oww and then that stone they seen in an X-ray wanted to put me even more hell and took a week to pass and I wish that on no one to go through. Yet the pain I am in on a daily basis would put a normal person on their knees and I don't take any medication for any of it. If it doesn't work why take it. I will try the medicine they give me but why again if you are still in pain take a pill that has no effect on you? Just like blood pressure medicine. I am on an average 205 and higher every single day and the medicine they want me to take is either to much or not enough and I at times will either wake up not knowing what happened or I get very sick and then the last thing they found and again in the last two weeks of 2025 was a blood clot in my right leg to which I can not take any blood thinners for due to the fact that my blood pressure is on an average of being 205/155 so I am waiting on them to schedule to receive a stint before it's too late. So 2025 has been one hell of an ending for me. I for one won't miss anything of that year. Just pray that they will be able to get some sort of an understanding of what I am going through and hopefully get this shit figured out so 2026 will be a better year for us all.
