Do you have any idea what caused your neuropathy? Does anyone in your family have it? Are you experiencing muscle weakness?

This sounds like me. I am 55 but was also a clumsy kid. I was diagnosed 1 year ago with SFPN but my initial symptom was muscle weakness. Difficulty with any kind of incline. The restless legs have been there for years but very mild until the neuropathy symptoms kicked in. Feeling like I have socks on. Numbness,burning ,tingling in the feet and now legs. I also have significant joint pain in my knees, hips and low back. I struggle with any stairs. No family history that I know of.
