Hi Ed @njed, I have similar symptoms when I rub the side of my lower hip. Whichever side I rub or scratch seems to cause some tingling of the nerves down the leg into the foot. I suspect it's a nerve thing by touching something in one part of the body sends a signal out on the nerve to the peripheral nerves at the end of the line so to speak. Just a non medical observation and opinion 🙂 Similar to having our "own EMG test" without having to pay for it and it's always available!

John, I think you have a good observation that this could be a signal thru the peripheral nervous system. I've searched that as a possibility as well and frankly, that is what it feels like. I've commented lately on this site about going to Mayo and Johns Hopkins and neurologists at both places did give me sort of a blank look. I guess this is just one of those hundred different symptoms with PN.
Thanks for your thoughts. Ed
