I am age 53, and I am experiencing more issues that are nerve related.
Is there a disease, disorder, syndrome, etc. that is more specific than just Neuropathy?
FIRST nerve issue was Morton's Neuroma,
SECOND degenerative disk disease, was low back and middle back, now in my neck.
THIRD, ( this is now since post-covid 19) Numbness, tingling, etc... in face, hands, foot, down arm. some stay bothersome all the time, whereas other times comes and goes.
Trying to connect any dots that might are being over looked by the many different specialists.

@mothertheresa3 -- It's good to learn as much as you can about your health conditions. There is a good overview of neuropathy on the Neuropathy Commons website here that you might find helpful for connecting some of the dots: https://neuropathycommons.org/neuropathy/neuropathy-overview
I also have degenerative disk disease and arthritis and I'm sure that plays a part as the nerves run through the spinal cord and as they can become compressed and cause all sorts of nerve related issues, but that's just my non medical opinion.

Sorry to hear you're going through all this. I'm about the same age. I've been blessed to have been healthy and active until 3 years ago, and I'm chalking it up to menopause - my body does not feel like itself. I think there's got to be some hormonal imbalance or something. I had bilateral adhesive capsulitis in both shoulders within a year of menopause. And now some mysterious nerve damage in foot after breaking my toe last summer....still trying to find a doc who can figure it out.
