A member asked:

Can neuropathy cause muscle pain ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No, but.....: Neuropathy does not cause muscle pain directly. However severe pain of any source can lead to reflex muscle spasm that may present as muscle pain. If the initiating cause is controlled , the pain arising from muscles can get better

Dr Hellman and 4 doctors agreed
