First you need to question his docs as to why they are calling this a neuropathy. I agree with one of the other posts here that the symptoms you describe can be attributed to restless leg syndrome, but acknowledge that they can also be caused by a neuropathy. As was also stated on another post, diabetes is a common cause of peripheral neuropathy, so if your husband is diabetic this could be contributing. Ultimately, a diagnosis of neuropathy should not be settled on without good diagnostic evidence. Again, I would push his docs to tell you exactly why they think this is the diagnosis, and to tell you what alternatives they considered. A good physician should welcome these questions.
All good points you make. I'll have him push the restless leg option again. He has another appointment in a few weeks. BTW your screen name certainly fits the topic.
