This has been a 30+ years with PN pain, so it is progressing slowly, what ever the type. Interesting there are only two families to date, that had a hereditary sensory neuropathy and had burning feet, as the main symptom, maybe there is one more family? As far as childhood coordination problems, they usually picked the fat kid before me when we were choosing teams for baseball... Part of the problem was there wasn't enough lefty mitts, but I think it was a coordination problem.
As far as having high arches - you can have high arches, normal or flat feet. Lots of people have that who do not have CMT. So that isn't always a sign of CMT.
