Hello @liz223, I have idiopathic small fiber peripheral neuropathy and the neurologist thinks it might be hereditary. I once heard an 80 year old research neurologist at a neuropathy support meeting say if you live long enough you will get neuropathy. Didn't make me feel any better but at 74 soon to be 75 I'm OK with it. I don't have pain with my neuropathy so I don't have to take any medications for it.. I just have the tingling and numbness.
You mentioned you have spinal stenosis and Scoliosis. There is a discussion you might want to read through here:
