Default PN or something else?

Hello

I've yet to be diagnosed proper but I've come to the conclusion I have PN my symptoms are

aching/burning feet, stabbing pains at night
hair loss on shins
ache from the knee down
cramp
muscle wastage in legs
tingling in fingers with occasional pins and needles and stabbing pain in tips of fingers too

I've recently spent two weeks in hospital for alcohol withdrawal (had PN symptoms for about eight month before going in and I'm no longer drinking after over 15 years of drinking)

While there I had two MRI'S,nerve conduction tests and CT scan .

I was discharged a month ago without really knowing much untill I get to see the Neurologist (whenever that will be. NHS don't exactly rush, but still.)

They gave me Thiamine, Folic Acid and strong Vitamin B Compound to take.

So what do you all think PN or not?

Thanks for reading.
