Welcome @2dogman, Thanks for sharing. Being your own advocate when it come to your health is something we all need to do a little better since it is our life. I'm not sure if you have heard about the Patient Revolution organization but they have some great tools and suggestions on working with your doctors - https://www.patientrevolution.org/tools.
Were your doctors able to identify a cause or provide a specific diagnosis for your neuropathy?

The availability of opioids, either by the manufacturer, the FDA or CDC, has been adversely affected. While I have been under the care of a pain mgt. specialist for over 10 years, it has become almost impossible to find prescription Oxycodone & Methadone. My care has been greatly impacted and I am currently going through opioid withdrawal-in other words, another layer of pain!

No, my neuropathy was idiopathic.
I do believe it had started shortly after a gum infection and the strong antibiotics I received. That is just a theory, but I do not have any other explanation.
