Hello ray666, I will explain the rapidly, but first my background with PN. It started about 15 years ago starting in my toes, within 12 years it reached to below my knees. ie. Prickling and itching. It was stable there for the last three years and I could cope without medication although my feet felt numb and nerve pain. In about July last year the nerve pain in my feet started to increase, to the stage that I sought help from my Neurologis, he prescribed neurontin 200mg every 8 hours. This helped with the sharp nerve pain. From the end of August the prickling and itching moved up my legs and by December had reached to the top of my thighs. My knees and legs felt weaker and I was using a walking stick.(cane?) Some days my legs are weak and some days a little better. I refer back to my original reply concerning my spinal problems, I have yet to have it confirmed, but I feel that the leg problem is not connected with the worsening of the PN and it is coincidental that they happened at the same time.
