Peripheral neuro-: pathy, damage usually to nerves of feet/hands, is common and has many causes...diabetes chief among them. Full medical work-up needed to find, if possible, the cause and treat it directly. Symptom relief often found from anti-convulsant drugs including gabapentin. Knee symptoms probably caused by something else...? arthritis. Probably not allergic but intolerant of pain meds. Keep working with Doc
