One leg more sensitive to doctor's pricks than the other - Neuropathy Message Board

I am scheduled to go in for further testing. What possible complications can result in such a phenomenon? My arms generally were equally sensitive.

Thanks.

Is your dominant leg the more sensitive one? Maybe you aggravate your neuropathy in your dominant leg because you put more stress on it. I know that my right foot is often in more pain from driving.

I have one foot and leg that has more symptoms than the other but it is the limb where symptoms were first bad enough for me to seek treatment. With most pn, it doesn't matter much which foot it started in or which is the worst.
