A member asked:
Can peripheral neuropathy cause my pants to feel like sandpaper against my legs?

Yes: This type of nerve disorder can cause many abnormal sensations and sensitivities. You would be quite young for a diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy. Be sure to discuss with your PCP.

Symptoms of PN: People with PN often feel their feet are abnormal, as if they are covered by sand, or they are walking on marbles, etc. Touching their skin to clothing and sheets may also feel different. However, if your pants feel uncomfortable, that does not mean there is neuropathy. Changes in the fabric may also cause such a symptom.
