RA Neuropathy

[orange33]

I have PN.and RA . I thought do anyone have bowel problems with the neuropathy? My peripheral neuropathy is quite severe.

I don't know why a Neuropathy question has appeared in my feed, but I'm sorry you've gone a day without a reply. Apparently, one of the symptoms of PN is "diarrhoea, constipation, or incontinence related to nerve damage in the intestines or digestive tract". A full list of the symptoms can be found at this link:

It's a high-quality source. All the best.

I do apologise. Thank you for the link.

Hello Orange.

I've been struggling with the bowels to no end this past year. I can go, and it's what I call Trotsky Terence in charge, then Constipation Conrad the next visit. I have a catheter that takes care of the bladder painfully. I just accept it as how it is nowadays, always opposite extremes. The District nurse seemed to think it was to be expected.

I hope things improve for you, all the bestest.

hi I also have this … I am currently about to go for tests for Coeliac disease. Apparently peripheral neuropathy disease can be a symptom!!! I’ll let you know how I get on .

Thank you for the post. I have diverticulitis.but I think the PN which was diagnosed about 7yrs ago is making things more difficult. I’m hoping everything goes well for you.
