@cwloeffler I was absolutely convinced that my PN was due to issues with my back from L-3 to S-1. Mayo along with several top-notch neurosurgeons that I went to outside Mayo said the back is not the cause of PN. All basically said yes, you have back issues, but it has nothing to do with your neuropathy.

It is pretty well established that chemicals
from a degenerative disc (without any or much nerve
compression) can affet the nerves.
