Post 1st neuropathy pains?

Hello...I had posted earlier about my husband's recent diagnosis with PN and his workup. I had said he only had problems with numbess in his feet. Well, we have now been up all night because he is having terrible sensations of having a needle sticking into the top of his foot. This is occuring only in his left foot and is intermittent, occuring ever 30 secs to a minute. He also just had his spinal tap on Friday and is still having bad neck pain mainly when he stands up. I know this is likely normal but I am wondering if the pains in his foot could be a complication from his spinal tap, nerve root irritation?? Or is this just the beginning of his neuropathy pains?? When does it get to the point where he should start taking meds for this.....

Thanks...Lisa
