Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

Hello @mrscurious, Welcome to Connect, an online community where patients and caregivers share their experiences, find support and exchange information with others. Compressed or pinched nerves in the spinal cord can cause neuropathic pain and other symptoms. Since your spinal surgery is recent, have you discussed your symptoms with your surgeon to see if there is anything additional they can do?

Hi @johnbishop I went to my surgeon this morning. He said this is not a pinched nerve in my back, it's more of an issue of my blood vessels not opening and closing as they should. I do have mixed connective tissue disease, but if he calls it peripheral neuropathy, why does he then say it's my blood vessels?
