I’ve not been tested for neuropathy but have been tested for carpal tunnel. I do have severe carpal that I refuse surgery for because I’m handicapped and non-ambulatory, so use my hands and arms to move from wheelchair to toilet, etc. My doctor has checked and says I have neuropathy though too.

I get the numbness during the daytime but seldom the pain. I’ve had to give up my knitting and crochet work because of it. I also drop things a lot.

My doctor diagnosed it. I’m on naproxen for it but am unable to take the full dosage as it makes me too sleepy during the day.

The burning occurs at night when I’m in bed. Otherwise I just have numbness in my hands. My hands are also quite clumsy now too.
