Default Why would a persons feet and toes become numb and it's not diabetes?

Over the past year or two I have gradually realized that my feet,along with being somewhat swollen,have become partially numb. I just went to a neurologist where he did an NCR(nerve conduction response) test which, by the way, shocked the crap out of me and all he would tell me was that I had peripheral nerve damage and would send the full report to my regular doctor who I haven't heard from. Does anyone have a similar story and can enlighten me about a possible answer?

Peripheral nerve damage is different from diabetes, and there are a lot of things that can cause it. Call your regular doctor and ask for an explanation. You have the right to see your own medical record and be fully informed.
