Hi

My mother had a genetic form of peripheral neuropathy diagnosed in her late 50s.

I have had a trapped sciatic nerve for 18 months with no relief - pins needles numbness in right leg/foot. Past 6 months have also had some nerve pain and stiffness in both feet and one foot very painful generally. Does any of this sound like poss PN? I'm early 50s. I slipped a disc 12 years ago.

I am seeing a spinal surgeon next week and waiting to see neurologist. I don't want spinal surgery if it is possibly neurological cause.
