@oceanwinds - My official diagnosis from Mayo in MN was - idiopathic axonal sensory motor peripheral neuropathy. Or, yes polyneuropathy but I don't have autonomic. Of course, my first question was "what's that"? Well, since going to Mayo in Feb 2020 I have l earned a lot, reading mostly and I have to give the folks at Mayo a pat on the back for this forum because as far as I'm concerned, I've learned a lot from others who have this horrible disease. And I attribute a great deal of knowledge from our mentors and those who contribute. Mine is numbness with no pain right below the knees to toes and now a little in fingertips. Balance is horrible, have not been on my boat for 5 years. Standard progression I understand. Sorry to hear that your PN is body wide. I can't imagine what you are experiencing. I wish you the best and be safe in your journey through this and I hope someday you will get some answers. Ed

I have had idiopathic neuropathy in feet since my total knee replacements in 2016 and 2017. My diagnosis is my new knees flattened my feet more than they already were and the nerves on soles of feet are compressed. I have yet to meet a dr that will see it that way. I suffer daily with tingling, burning and numbness in my feet and going up calves. S pain management Dr suggested that I have my flat feet reconstructed but doesn’t know if that would solve the problem. My foot muscles are strong. Any suggestions?
