A member asked:
Can neuropathy travel from the lower body to the brain? how likely and what are the consequences? (been getting persistent headache lately same place)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Comments: Most neuropathies are not associated with headaches, and never "travel' to the brain, as they involve peripheral nervous system.. You should uncover cause of both neuropathy and headaches and get this treated and resolved. Do you have a neurologist?
