It is possible your PN is more generalized? But yes, if you put them where you feel the pain...on the extremity, they may not work. If a whole leg is involved, putting on the back where the nerves come out of the spine often is better. People with diffuse burning pain all over the body would do better with the infusions I would think.

Here is my thread on placement. Check the 3D graphic link:
