Is there any help at all for foot numbness in PN

I’ve had PN almost 20 years that’s gradually gotten worse after multiple spine surgeries for scoliosis, my deformity was on my left side, and that’s where the numbness is worse; however, it now encompasses my right foot and has even spread to my hands at times.
As I said in my previous post, none of my doctors will even entertain my theory of the PN being linked to the spine (and later, hip surgery when I fell). Maybe it’s a chronic case of White Coat Syndrome - who knows?
As far as Barefoot Shoes go, I’m definitely going to check them out. Wish me luck!

I was diagnosed and have lived with with PN (numbness only, in toes) since 2009. The only remedy for my numb toes has been using a lidocaine roll-,on on my toes at bedtime than wearing warm socks (not tight) like Heat Holders (the best I've found for me).

Good luck!
