Greetings Joe,

Welcome to cpaptalk.com! I haven't heard of cpap users being more subjected to Peripheral Neuropathy, but my father, who doesn't have apnea, has it due to spinal stenosis. Has your doctor given you a reason why you have Neuropathy?

Regards,

Ted

Hi Joe,

My legs swell and my feet burn but I thought it was because I'm lugging around 90 extra pounds.

I'll have to ask my Doc about that. Good to hear that CPAP may make it better.

Wishing you further success,
