Here is a website on peripheral neuropathy. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001713/. My Sister has this and her legs hurt badly so I hope your have something that is easy to control. The brain swelling applies to peripheral neuropathy in the brain sometimes. Good Luck and let us know what you find out. Bennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
