Does peripheral neuropathy progress?

Yes: It will progress if the original cause of the peripheral neuropathy is not addressed/controlled or corrected.

Not necessarily: Sometimes yes, not often no.

It can: It depends on the type of neuropathy and if it is being treated. For example, if diabetes is not controlled, peripheral neuropathy will likely progress. Keeping the blood sugar under control is the best way to prevent the neuropathy from progressing.
