Would you say the numbness & tingling is the same on both sides or worse on one side than the other?

Doc
Thanks for your reply. I would say that the numbness and tingling is about the same on both sides ( hands and feet), but slightly worse in the right hand (I am right handed).

I don't believe in coincidences in health and medicine and to me, something happened with the PT manipulations that triggered all of this since it started the day after I started PT. But making the connection would be all but impossible.

What is the treatment for peripheral neuropathy? What have you tried that has worked?

Thanks, again.
