I am brand new to this group and have already appreciated the posts. Actually I have interests in many groups and qualify for many. My neuropathy started some time ago. In my thirties I was in competitive running and ran two marathons which was a strain on my nerves to say the least. I m noticing weakness in my hands but primarily my problems are in my feet. By the end of the day, showering is a big challenge and I have had many times when I was almost unable to walk. At night my feet feel numb. Perhaps I should get a Mayo doctor to take a look for an accurate diagnosis. Does anyone have any suggestions for a doctor for this condition?

Hello @sandibritton2021 and @terryzrust, I would like to welcome you both Mayo Clinic Connect. I like the suggestion by @terryzrust to discuss your symptoms with your primary care doctor to see if they think you should see a neurologist for a diagnosis. Have you discussed your symptoms with your doctor?

@terryzrust - Have you been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy?

You look so familiar. Do or did you live in California? If not you have a twin here.

The Mayo Clinic does a great job if they take you. There is an application process.
