Hi tnthomas
We seem to have similar-ish symptoms tho' my numbness also includes lower legs. Like you I've had PN for 4 years & the cause is unknown
Since joining the forum recently I've been reading-up quite a bit & was hoping to see some success stories in reducing the symptoms. The absence of responses to your question confirms what I'd started to think: there are no solutions. You've also, unless anyone says they've had success with B12, put me off trying that
For what it's worth I've found sitting with my legs on a foot-stool help, tho' that isn't always possible & may not be of any help to you. I've also found that changing my car has allowed me to drive more; I had been thinking of giving-up driving but a very different driving position has made driving much easier
Fortunately, I'm still able to have 2 or 3 glasses of nice wine in an evening without having any problems later (not every evening I hasten to add; just twice a week)
Hopefully, you've found a few little 'tricks' to help you
Kind regards & best wishes
David
