I have unexplained peripheral neuropathy and constant lower back and abdominal pain every day. could these be connected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Systemic illness (peripheral neuropathy is a systemic problem) can be associated with nutritional (abdominal complaints) and bone disorders (Joint and back). Comprehensive medical examination and laboratory testing is in order. Neurologists and Rheumatologists are trained in unraveling these connections. Good Luck
