Hi @tigreyes2004, I'm by far no expert and have no medical background or training but there are many different types of neuropathy. I'm not sure if there are specific stages of neuropathy but it does get worse over time and there is no real cure that I have found. Some types of neuropathy, like diabetic neuropathy may slow down or get better depending on how well you able to control what is causing it. I think if it's neuropathy caused by nerve damage and you can repair the nerve damage through surgery, you may be able to reverse the symptoms but that's just an opinion. Here is some information that may be helpful.
