I still have minor PN symptoms, but NOT the PN I had in my hands and feet back then with the hypothyroid. During my pregnancy 33 yrs ago, I lost 80% of the functions in both hands.

But after delivery, most returned. I didn't get diagnosed properly because my blood work appeared normal, but I did develop a goiter, that led to a radiouptake test, which was very abnormal, so then finally I was treated. By then my feet were numb pretty much, and my hands so so. I slept every night with carpal tunnel braces. My feet woke up slowly, tingling away, over time. The only numbness I have now are the tips of the two middle toes.

I do get burning sometimes too, but not often.

My PN is more or less stable now and not progressing at all.
I also have spurring in the left ankle and broken sesamoid bones in both feet. So those are mechanical problems unrelated to the compressive nerve problems I used to have with the HYPO.
