Hi this is my first posting on behalf of my husband who was diagnosed with pn Dec 2006. MRI scans have shown nothing significant but only the cervical vertebrae were scanned.This seems crazy as the pain, numbness & tingling started in his hands & spread to his feet and his hands are now better. He takes Gabapentin for the condition but nothing else has been offered except amatryptaline which he couldn't tolerate. He copes very well most of the time & still manages loads of DIY for our daughter, but sometimes his feet nearly drive him to distraction. He cant stand socks in a ny weather and his shoes are really uncomfortable. Can anyone suggest comfortable footwear, perhaps something with cushion interiors? The summer isnt so bad because he can wear sandals but he says it feels as if hes walking on gravel in his shoes and he has bare feet in the house most of the time. When I read other postings on this condition I think at the moment hes getting away lightly & I only hope it lasts.
