Hello @maryflorida, Did your prior doctor who said it was neuropathy do any testing or did they just think it was neuropathy? Sometimes doctors are not in agreement and I can understand how you must feel since you are the one with the pain. Here are some articles on the topic that may help you in a discussion with your doctor.

Have you considered getting a second opinion for your diagnosis?
