My neurologist dx'd me with PN. I have numbness in both feet and ankles. In my hands up to my wrists I have a feeling of sand esp. in my fingers. My feet and hands are always cold. This began @ i year ago. The dx. is a bit confusing because I also have cervical and lumbar stenosis. Lumbar laminotomy and cervical fusion did help the low back pain and upper extremity paresthesia.
I find gabapentin helped a little but I was overly sedated by it. I have mild balance and do not want to fall.
I feel better with Pickle Ball and yoga as my exercises.
