Can neuropathy affect just one limb (e.g-left leg just below knee)?

Specializes in General Practice

No Neuropathy: It is very unlikely that your condition is neuropathy with it being only in one limb.

Yes: Neuropathy can be in just a finger or toe , arm or leg or many places all the same time. It depends on the cause which determines location and extent
