Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

Hi - I am very new to this site.
I have idiopathic sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy, got official dx at Mayo in MN in Feb 2020 but been dealing with this since 2016. Started with numbness both feet 2015, drop foot in both 2017, about 70% numbness shins down to toes. Since Aug 2020, unusual sweating upper part of body. I do not have dry eyes, mouth. Small amounts of neuropathy in finger tips. I've heard pinched nerve from a fall can trigger neuropathy.

Hi @njed, Welcome to Connect. I think you are right, a pinched or compressed nerve can cause nerve pain and other symptoms. It sounds like you don't have any pain with your diagnosed idiopathic sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy, just the numbness.

Did your Mayo Clinic neurologist suggest or start any treatments?

I have peripheral nueropathy; from my left knee down to my big toe. There doesn't seem to be anything to do about it.
