I'm starting to get some weird sensations in my feet and legs now, if I had to describe it, feels like electrical pulses going off or something crawling inside my skin. My legs are also starting to feel a little weak. I have an appointment with a neurologist in a couple weeks. Any suggestions on what I should ask my doctor? Do these symptoms sound familiar to peripheral neuropathy?
Thanks,

Do you consume alcohol? PN can be from so many issues. Mine is from nerve damage from hip replacement. A friend is mostly from radiation and chemo for skin cancers. Sugar consumption and higher carbs make the issues worse, I believe.
