Does periphal neurophathy get worse? what should i expect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes: It depends somewhat on the cause. Alcohol is a common cause and the neuropathy may improve if the patient stops drinking. Other times, neuropathy does not improve and may get worse with time or stay the same.
