Because I have both Peripheral Neuropathy and spinal degeneration I'm experiencing symptoms that overlap. Currently I would like to know if anyone can comment on my PN symptoms in such a way that might help me decide if they're the PN or the Lumbar issues.
Bilateral numbness in my feet and a little going up the legs seems very PN to me. What seems not PN is that when I wake up first thing in the AM my PN is such that I have little problems walking around doing small activities like making breakfast etc.. HOWEVER, once I engage in more actions or am just standing or sitting for any length of time my symptoms get wildly aggravated. I go from feeling just slightly delicate to feeling dangerously numb, in pain and weakened. I get lots of clicking at the lumber where the issues are and bits of pain generated from there. Can anyone speak to the symptoms of PN and if this is mostly PN or do some of these symptoms seem separate from PN?
