My PN sounds like yours. Gradually toe, foot, shin numbness progressed over 6 yrs. No pain. No other health issues however blood work showed very high levels of B6. B6 in high levels can cause PN that does not just go away even when levels in blood return to normal. Have you had B6 levels checked? I unknowingly was taking too much b6 in melatonin without knowing this.

I know that my Vitamin B level has been checked and all was well. I'm now 85 and have had this about 15-17 years. I have been told repeatedly by doctors that there is no cure and that's what I'm seeing others on this posting say too. I'm just thankful to not have pain with it! I have a feeling someday someone will discover what causes those nerves to die.
