I think altered sensation is a better way of describing it - my husband has the "sock balled up in his shoe" sensation a lot and says it feels like walking on lumps.

His PN is also in his hands and he has trouble with cups, bowls, plates - they feel like they are slipping out of his hands, although they aren't. Makes for a few "accidents" because he then overcompensates and tips them anyway

The joys of neuropathy!
