Welcome to Neuro Talk. I am sorry you have PN. Mine resulted from surgery to remove ganglion cyst from left foot, (2 times) and an old injury apparantly. It may help you to have B12 checked, as this has helped me over the course of the last years. Pain levels went down. Somehow B12 helps rejuvinate or repair nerve damage in some patients. Lots of good folks on NT. Glad you found the site, make yourself at home. ginnie
