Driving making neuropathy of the feet worse

driving has no effect on neuropathy -- something else is creating the problem if you feet are worse when driving, but not neuropathy

I have idiopathic small fiber peripheral neuropathy. Driving certainly does make my symptoms worse.
Lois6524, did you mean that driving does not cause peripheral neuropathy? If so, I agree completely. However, driving is among the many things that make the symptoms worse. Cold weather, pressure from simply wearing shoes and socks. my mood, and many other things can make me feel worse.
Driving became so difficult that we recently sold our RV. My wife doesn't particular like driving it, and I found that at times I was driving barefoot.

I have neuropathy of unknown cause. I have noticed that wearing shoes and walking make my pain worse. Maybe just using your feet causes the increase in symptoms. Again we here are not medical; we are people who have the condition. So for a final diagnosis of your specific condition you would need to consult a doctor. We are here so feel free to talk with us again. It can be difficult going through neuropathy so we do understand what you are going through.
