Good luck figuring it out!

Thank you for reply, and I wish you the best of luck with your PN. Glen mentioned the 'double crush' theory and that makes a lot of sense to me. Once the tissue/nerves are injured, they are just more susceptible to further insults even if original insult has been removed/rectified.
I think it's like having a bad back in a way, if you have a bad back seemingly innocent movements or temp changes can aggravate your condition and cause it to flare where 'normal people' feel nothing at all. It seems to be a management issue.
