I'd get a new doctor.......STAT !

Neuropathy by definition means nerve damage.....as in cannot be fixed.

I guess it's possible that you have a nerve entrapment syndrome in your hand. A medial nerve entrapment is called carpel tunnel (usually affects thumb and index and middle fingers). A radial entrapement affects the ring finger and pinky. Pain, numbness and tingling would be symptoms, but not the red shiny skin and sweating that is typical with RSD. Either way, you would not call nerve entrapment or RSD .....neuropathy !

If it is a nerve entrapment.....that could be a good thing in that maybe surgery would fix that for you. I would not be having that surgery done by anyone who can't get the terms straight !
