Hi Brandonmccluskey, and welcome!
Neuropathy has so many possible causes that I hope you'll ask your doctor about your symptoms so there can be some investigation and treatment. Peripheral Neuropathy Fact Sheet | National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke It would be helpful for the doctor to know how long you've had the symptoms and whether anything in particular seems to trigger them or makes them worse.

I guess I am lucky in a sense. My neuropathy is in my feet but I don't have the burning that some folks have. I have what some call "foot drop". I have to lift my feet or my toes will drag the floor. I am wearing carbon fiber braces because I am so active I have broken 2 sets of regular plastic braces. I had stage 3 colon cancer 5 years ago and the doctors blame the chemo or radiation for the problem. I have been through tests and they cannot find any other problems. I have been taking meds for epilepsy for 45 years. It is controlled completely now but from what I have researched I really think that the medicine that completely stopped my seizures is the cause of my neuropathy. When I started taking keppra 10 years ago I started noticing a slight limp a couple years later. Things went downhill from there. Anyway, my doc that I see doesn't think that is the cause and I am not going to change meds. I am 62 now and still working. As they say, it is what it is....
