Right Trunk [abdomen] paresthesia
 

Hi,

I have a question, from a month and a half I started with numbness, first on both feet, then the numbness went up the legs, but I have numbness in my right lower trunk only, a different sensory feeling to touch in the abdomen and in the back, in comparison to the left side, and I have like a feeling of a 'lump' just under the ribs in the upper front abdomen.

The thing is when I lay down, and most of it, when I lay down on my left side, the lump abdominal feeling disappears.
I have to say that the feet/legs paresthesia gets worse considerably when walking, the paresthesia, when sitting/resting is like tingling, annoying but bearable, but it becomes really more annoying when walking, transforming more into a 'pin a needles' pain. I can walk correctly (even for 8,000 step walkings) on a daily basis, but it is an effort, the feeling is very unpleasant.

It is weird also that when I put my hand on the zone in which I feel the lump on my right abdomen, the feeling disappears.

Do you think this is PN as it is or may involve something else?
