Default Not every type of neuropathy causes pain.

There are neuorpathies primarily of the larger sensory nerves that handle vibration, mechanical touch, and body postion that cause lack of sensation and balance disturbances, in addition to sensory disruption that might be felt as tingles or erroenous sensations. And--there are neuropathies that are primarily motor in nature, with few or even no sensory symptoms, that may well be felt as movement disruptions or fatigue, as the body has to work much harder to move properly as muscle becomes de-enervated.
