I am not sure what type of PN that I have but I do not have diabetes and I am pretty sure that back and neck injuries from my time in the military have played a part. I was diagnosed with PN and radiculopathy in all four extremities before I retired. This initially presented with numbness in my right foot that seemed to be a Morton's neuroma. Over the last few years my feet have become more and more sensitive to walking/standing and shoes. Recently, I have had much more trouble sleeping due to tingling and electric pain in my toes. For about a week, I had extreme hot foot syndrome. Some research and blood tests led me to B12 injections, and it helped alleviate the worst of the tingling, electric pain and hot feet, it isn't gone, and it may be coincidental, but I'll take it!
I often have the sensation that my legs are weak, but I don't think I have lost strength...
This last week I have requested a neurology consult since I haven't seen one since I retired 6 years ago.
It has really become a problem and I am trying to understand this progressive disease.
