that's why it is called peripheral neuropathy -- it affects first the nerves that go the furthest from your spine,where the nerves are the longest === i.e. feet and legs, hands and arms

Hello Lois, I have SFPN almost all of my body; numb/burn/sting/pins&needles. Peripheral neuropathy means going outside the spinal canal (cord) to the body. I always thought that it was only in lower legs and feet. Boy was I ignorant! Hope that helps. I hope you are doing better than tolerable today and in general. Warmest wishes, Sunnyflower 😊
