Hi, Delane @homdee3041

It's been more than 5 years ago since a neurologist diagnosed my idiopathic peripheral neuropathy. In case you don't know, idiopathic means they have no idea what the cause of my pn was. At the time, I just had tingling in my feet and legs up to my knees. The burning pain started a couple of years later, and progressed to the point where I was in constant pain. I had a spinal cord stimulator implant in May, and it's reduced the pain by around 80%. Standing on a hard surface for more than a few minutes, or walking any distance on hard surfaces will remind me how much it used to hurt all the time, and how far I've come.

PN seems to be different for everyone, and as far as I know, the treatment is pain management. For some people, it becomes disabling, for others, it's limited to tingling and numbness, which is no fun in itself. A good neurologist will order tests.
I've started looking online at the reviews of the possible doctors. There are several websites.

I hope that your pn won't get any worse than it is, and that you'll find a great neurologist. (My favorite one retired.)
