Default Sorry to hear about the fall, Bob--

--and hope you will heal all up real soon.

Until you do--as you've already noticed, whenever you get another injury, peripheral neuropathy will do all sorts of fun things and in around the injury site to convince you that you have a worse injury than you do. I've written before how those of us with neuropathy are thereby far more prone to compressive nerve symptoms than the average person--and selling of any area will certainly compress nerves and produce all sorts of weird sensations.

I know that every time I bruise/bang myself heavily (not often, fortunately) I can look forward not only to the "normal" nociceptive pain of the bruising, but a bewildering variety of nreve shoots, pulses, tingles, "liquid running", "banding" in and around the injured area for a while. Fortunately, at least so far, these tend to fade as the injury heals, though it often takes longer for these neural symptoms to depart than it does for the pain caused by swelling/tissue damage.
