What is the difference

@bajjerfan yes, the same with my brother. His feet have never been the same. Mine however is due to Military chemicals and there just isn't a whole lot they can do for it. Do you have a problem with dropping things and your fingers jumping like when you are typing? I backspace a lot lol

@armywac

I really have no issues with hands or fingers other than I sometimes mishandle things because I'm afraid to squeeze too tightly when picking up some objects.

Peripheral neuropathy (PN) is a general term for nerve damage from known causes like Diabetes or deficiencies, while Idiopathic Peripheral Neuropathy is the same condition but specifically diagnosed when no cause is found after testing, meaning symptoms may be similar but treatment differs because identifiable causes can sometimes be addressed whereas idiopathic cases focus on symptom management.

@pusheenfan thank you for the simple explanation! 🙂

My neighbor had neuropathy in her feet from chemo/cancer treatment. The would wake up at night crying. She tried acupuncture. It definitely helped. I don't know if the neuropathy went away totally, she never talks about it. I know I could ask her. She and I run together 5 days a week.

If she is running, I would say it worked!
