How common is neuropathy at age 13?

I have neuropathy. I'm 13. What are some potential causes?

Im in fine health. I don't do drugs. The pain comes up spontaneously and for no reason

A number of factors can cause neuropathies. When a single nerve is affected, the most likely cause is trauma or some type of repetitive use that puts pressure on the nerve. Nerve pressure can result from using a cast or crutches, spending a long time in an unnatural position 鈥?such as typing at a computer keyboard 鈥?or having a tumor or abnormal bone growth.
When damage occurs to several nerves, the cause frequently is diabetes. At least half of all people with diabetes develop some type of neuropathy. Other common causes include alcoholism, HIV/AIDS, inherited disorders, amyloidosis and a deficiency of certain vitamins, especially B vitamins.diabetes develop some type of neuropathy.

Other causes of peripheral nerve damage may include:

Other diseases. These include autoimmune diseases, such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, kidney disease, liver disease and an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism).
Exposure to poisons. These may include some toxic substances and certain medications 鈥?especially those used to treat cancer.
Genetic makeup. You may inherit a tendency to develop peripheral neuropathy.
Bacterial or viral infections. An acute condition called Guillain-Barre syndrome frequently causes severe damage to all or part of your peripheral nerves by destroying the myelin sheath that covers nerve fibers. The myelin sheath acts as an insulator for your nerves and helps conduct nerve impulses. Although the exact cause of Guillain-Barre syndrome isn't known, most cases occur after an infection, surgery or immunization. Im sorry to hear you have this, i hope you are ok, and check with your doc to find out your exact cause is all i can say 鈾モ櫏鈾?br> there are also four types of neuropathy Autonomic Neuropathy, Peripheral Neuropathy , Proximal Neuropathy , Focal Neuropathy Try googling these and find out some info .

If you've been diagnosed, your doctor should have told you what causes it.

Have you done any drugs? Huffing? Sniffing anything like gasoline? Any of those things could/would cause neuropathy. I'm surprised the doc didn't ask you about them.

I think there is a nerve in your brain that can squeeze and cause severe pain throughout your body.
