Can you make a post with your lifestyle, test results, age, hobbies, etc? Any drugs taken...in the recent past, any illnesses, etc?

Nerves are signaling cells...they are to alert us to situations that are harmful. If the nerves are acting up, something may be triggering them. This could be in the environment or because of some medical change inside you. Some people inherit a defect in the cells which cause them to not repair and hence they deteriorate. The hereditary types of PN are called CMT (Charcot Marie Tooth). Your feet can suffer from mechanical stress and problems as well. Just lacing shoes too tightly can compress nerves in the instep and lead to damage, over time.

Often being a detective, is what we have to do.
