Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

@johnbishop I was given that information by a osteopathic physician who specializes in osteopathic manual manipulation and who I see for pain management. He explained that one of the fibers is sending to my brain a message that's causing numbness and the other fibers is sending the pain message. Of course, his explanation was much more detailed, but that was the gist of it.

WOW! Interesting. Thank you! I wonder what my Neurologist has to say about this. So far my neuropathy has affected my bladder, bowel, and so much more in my body. Nerves aren't communicating as they should. It's very brutal. I'm sure I have autonomic neuropathy besides SFN and large fiber. And medium LOL! Warm regards, Sunnyflower

Thanks @steeldove. I've just not seen anything describing the difference between numbness and pain. We had a guest neurologist researcher at the Minnesota Neuropathy Association a few years ago that mentioned the same thing that my Mayo neurologist told me that only about 20% or less of the people with neuropathy have only numbness as a symptom. I guess I should be thankful that I'm in the 20% category. Also have never read anything on NIH or other neuropathy sites that mentions it so was just curious.
