@melissa59 - I have constant numbness, all the time as if my feet are asleep. The only time I get the tingle is when I touch my back. About 6 months ago, I noticed I can now touch just about any area of my spine up to about 5 inches from the neck and I get the tingle feeling. The tingle increases in intensity in feet and toes as I move my hand closer to lower spine. Remove my hand from back, tingle stops. Two very well-respected neurosurgeons refuse to operate saying surgery would not help which is fine with me. My opinion is that with no pain, the risk of surgery is not warranted. Mayo in 2020 said my PN is not back related. Confusing!
