Hi, fala (@fala). You're bound to get a tsunami of responses to your question. I'll have to pass on suggesting an answer as I'm one of the fortunate ones who doesn't have foot or leg pain. My chief PN symptom is terrible balance, with the expected wobbly gait that accompanies terrible balance. I look forward to reading the responses you get. And here's wishing you my very best! –Ray (@ray666)

Hi,
I just duck in here every now and then. Yep, misery loves company. Oh, ok, it's not just that...I always hope there is something new to try. This nasty PN ailment actually started for me, in the 80's. I actually agreed to have foot surgery, (that failed) and an "I'm sorry, (from my brilliant Doctor, with...wait for it... and this is a real quote,) you will have to walk on your heel for a year". Said, like "Have a nice day!" Sigh.
Yes, that was a long time ago. I have pain everyday, all the time, but I have managed it with help from this site. Helpful exchange is very uplifting as well!
When I wake up in the morning, IF I do NOT move my feet, I feel no pain. I mean is that helpful to even mention? Since there is no cure, it helps me to know I am NOT alone. It is all bad with differences here and there . It helps me to read what is happening to other folks. Hey, we keep hoping and trying this and that when we aren't crying in our beer...(just trying to keep my sense of humor.)
My best to all!
