I am new to Mayo Clinic Connect and appreciate any helpful information. I started having tingling in my feet a couple of years ago, then
awhile back started a serious walking program, and suddenly woke up with burning, painful feet. Neurologist did many tests and diagnosed me with idiopathic neuropathy (you have it but we don't know why), possibly years of pre diabetes. I don't do well on meds
because of stomach, ibs, etc. so have not gone on gabapentin, etc. A strong CBD ointment from my chiropractor helps any night.
@tjaapa I had a tetanus shot 3 month ago, and have had pain in left upper arm ever sing. Weird, nurse said maybe it went too deep.

Hello @bgiddio, Welcome to Connect, an online community where patients and caregivers share their experiences, find support and exchange information with others. There is another discussion where members have shared their journey with neuropathy and what has helped them. You might want to read through the discussion to learn what others have shared.
