Everytime I go into a car and my husband drives my right foot vibrates alot after I get out of the car. I put two pillows on top of my foot. It helps, but I still get some vibration, especially my right toes and under my right toes. It seems I can't drive, but I want to drive. Nothing seems to help. What would you suggest? Thanks.

Hi @cncwi17 – @steeldove posted a photo of hand controls he has had installed. I'm not sure of the cost other than it's expensive. He can probably give you a ball park figure. Here is the post he made with a photo.

Could be damage to the peroneal nerve. I also had trouble driving; I could not press my right foot against the accelerator or brake. It turned out I was compressing the peroneal nerve by the way I crossed my legs. The peroneal nerve loops half way around the outside the bone just below the knee. I was pressing against it when I crossed my legs. I stopped crossing my legs and two weeks later it was back to normal. The condition is called "drop foot"
