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.

This is very good to know. And it makes it all the commendable that you've gathered and shared so much knowledge about many PN forms/ causes/ treatments. Thanks!
