What if you can't find the cause of peripheral neuropathy?
5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
It is difficult: You most likely will find the cause. There are thousands of causes of neuropathy. Most common causes are just a few. If you have a hard time finding answer then go to an academic neurology center where the cases are discussed with many other doctors to find an answer.

Let the doctors do: You should not make your own diagnosis and then worry what if doctor's don't find what is wrong with you.Doctors may not have answers for all that ails you.But if primary doctor can not make a correct diagnosis HE/SHE will refer you to a specialist to get to the bottom of it Think positive always and trust the doctors and if you don't have faith,change your doctor

Advice: If you have a progressive neuropathy and current doctors unable to help you, recommend a second opinion. Where you live, you could find multiple physicians to provide new approaches.
