symptom progression...

Post by spikehades »

just wanted to check; did everyone start out with tingling which then led to stinging and then to pain? Or were some of you unfortunate enough to go straight to the pain stage. Just want to understand the progression of this illness

My case may be a bit different as my PN is because of surgery. I started with complete numbness, feeling came back over 2-3 weeks as pain. No tingling/stinging, basically it went straight to pain.

Mine was a sharp onset too, after a fall. Numbness was my first symptom then tingling which I though was a good sign at first, but then shooting and burning pain. Still have constant numbness, the rest develop the more I do.
