Neuropathy: Numbness only, no pain

I too just have numbness and no pain. I am also concerned about the rate of progression of PN only having been diagnosed a month ago due to too much B6 which I stopped taking. My neurologist said if it subsides after stopping B6 then that was probably the cause. I also have cervical spinal stenosis which he said is “on the differential” as another possible contributing cause. It seems to be worsening although I read it can get worse before it improves and supposedly takes 6 months after stopping B6 if that’s the cause. I noticed a week ago that my left foot had new numbness in the toes when I got up which matches my right foot. When kneeling I can’t feel either foot until I stand up. I can also move toes so not sure which nerves are causing numbness. Have any of you seen this sort of progression and/or any improvement over time? Would love to hear your experience. Thanks.

In a matter of 3-4 mo, I lost tons of feeling in both feet & lower legs. I have a terrible spine. My Lumbar Myelogram showed mid- severe deformity of the thoracic spine. I had to have surgery to prevent more numbness. I am 74 yr old & had a difficult time, but now improving.
Never take out FEELING for granted!

You do not really state what caused all this! It couldn’t be just from the B6. Did you have surgery followed by chemo or were you diagnosed with some other illness?
