Neuropathy: Numbness only, no pain

John, I was diagnosed by Dr. John England who is the head of the LSU School of Medicine Neurology in New Orleans, Louisiana. Dr. England did extensive testing before rendering my diagnosis. He could not put his finger on a cause or remedy at the time. I guess what I am looking for is someone who can help figure this out. I understand that no one may ever be able to figure it out. I saw a video of a neurologist in Austin Texas who i was very impressed with only to learn that their clinic only treats people who are Texas residents. Do the Mayo Clinic have any part of their clinic that would specialize in diagnosing causes of SFPN ? Thank very much for responding.

I was in an exactly the same situation as you, until I phoned one of my sons, aged 65. As I started to bring him up to date on my condition, he interrupted my conversation, saying “ sorry dad, I didn’t want to worry you but, I have just been diagnosed , that I also have peripheral neuropathy “. So , there you are, my cause and his is hereditary. After much research I have opted for treatment via Neuroplasticity. I am now aged 90, on nil medication of any form, and my condition IS improving on a weekly basis. I am not just looking improvement , but a CURE. My Specialist Neurologist said, of cure,” it is possible, but will be extremely hard work to achieve “. I’ll settle for that. Best wishes from Australia.

@patc55, You mentioned you only feel it when you are standing and it feels like you are walking on rocks. Do you feel pain when walking or on your feet? Just wondering if Morton's Neuroma may be a possibility. Normally it's a painful condition but I did find the following information that mentions pain is not always present.
"Sometimes you may have Morton's neuroma without any symptoms. A small study from 2000 reviewed medical records from 85 people who had their feet imaged with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The study found that 33 percent of the participants had Morton's neuroma but no pain. Jan 22, 2018" - Morton's Neuroma: Causes, Treatment, and More: https://www.healthline.com/health/mortons-neuroma
