I had numbness in my calves and feet. Now it is confined to my feet and improving. It is aggravated by sitting for extended periods. Originally, it was aggravated by sitting even for brief periods. I was thoroughly evaluated for a contributing orthopedic cause such as a pinched nerve in my lower back and there is none. It seems the autoantibodies may also have attacked and inflamed my spinal chord. At the peak, I could greatly reduce the nerve pain and numbness in my feet, if I avoided sitting. Because this is not typical of peripheral neuropathy, I consider it further evidence of an adverse reaction to the vaccine.

@emf21 my symptoms have been mostly attributed to an immune response “attacking” an area which was already compromised - in my case pinched nerve roots at S1. I have had symptoms elsewhere in my body but overwhelmingly in my feet and my right leg. It mostly follows a sciatic pattern. Of course it’s only a theory at this point but it seems the most likely scenario. I have had back problems for years but after receiving my first vaccine, I literally overnight developed the intense symptoms that I now experience. Interestingly, I also have notice occasional mild hand and arm weakness, and I also have cervical spine problems. Also never had these symptoms pre-vaccine. Over a year and still counting for me.
