Believe me the two sensations can co-exist. My neurologist explained it to me but I didn't understand even then.

@fonda Yes, pain and numbness can coexist. Small fibers are sending one signal, and large fibers are sending a different signal. I believe that it has to do with presence or absence of myelin sheath on the fibers.

Interesting! It doesn't make any sense to me at all, but having said that - I hope I never have the experience to help me understand 😉
