Some people may need to see a neurologist, a specialist in health conditions affecting the nervous system, in hospital for further tests. The GP may also arrange blood tests, especially to check for causes such as diabetes or vitamin B12 deficiency. This may involve testing sensation, strength and reflexes. When you see a GP, they'll ask about your symptoms and examine the affected area of your body. A number of tests may be used to diagnose peripheral neuropathy and its underlying cause.
