My PN started 3 years ago with cold (numbness) in both feet. I didn't really notice it coming on.

For the first couple of years the symptoms were just this and were remitting and relapsing (coming and going) a few weeks or months at time. Relapses were usually triggered by the onset of a cold/virus.

However for the last six months symptoms have been constant. They (burning and tingling) progressed up the front of my legs via the ankles (worse in left leg) to the knee area.

These symptoms have abated and I'm left with the foot numbness and pains in the front/outside of left thigh (femoral nerve ?).

I wonder if my numbness is part PN and part a circulatory problem as its always worst in cold weather ?

It strikes me what a variety of symptoms we suffer from ???
