Bev, I have neuropathy in my feet and my left arm and hand. I have had nerve conduction tests and they can tell how bad it is, or help to figure out what it is. The nerve damage in my arm is peripheral neuropathy that was damaged during surgery.
Popliteal cysts possibly fluid filled bursa sac or called Bakers cysts
They are not painful at all and I don't have RA in my knees....yet!
Docbernie, I think I probably should try and get into a neurologist for my feet and legs. The meds I'm on help the pain but I feel the nerves are a lot worse. The numbness has increased.
