Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

I am type 2 diabetic and the neuropathy is increasing. My question is can a person have neuropathy in the ear? The sensation is very similar to what I experience in my hands and feet.

@amazingteal I have a similar sensation and pain in my left ear. Neurologists at Mayo in Rochester literally spent decades trying to treat this with meds. They finally diagnosed it as left auricular neuralgia. I get an injection every 3 months that blocks the nerve delivering the sensation and pain to the ear. I say every 3 months because for me I get relief for that time period. They are actually surprised that this works for that long.
Hopefully this gives you some insight.
