Hi Skip, welcome.

How long has it been since the injury/implantation of the hardware?
Is the PN confined to that leg? Where (else)?
Age?
Other medical conditions?
Prescription meds (current & past), and supplements?
Medical tests & results?

There are many causes of PN; there are treatments for some—not for others (aside from treating symptoms). You might ask on the Peripheral Neuropathy forum as well; there are more folks familiar with different causes of the condition there. Folks there may ask the same kinds of questions.

Doc
