I felt a tingling in both arms from the shoulders down to the wrists for several weeks, but it eventually went away.

I had pn for many years before I had any later problems. About 14 years ago i thought that the problems were from new shoes and standing on my feet too much. When the pain became unbearable - I felt like I was walking on glass and my hands hurt (I thought perhaps tunnel carpel from painting and drawing, too much cutting and peeling in the kitchen and computer use) I went to a neurologist. I was given a long blood glucose test ( about 5 hr?) and had electroencephalogram testing. It was found that I was hypoglycemic and needed to go on a typical diabetic diet to relieve the "Hand and glove" symptoms. I find that pressure from shoes, leaning on my elbows or arm (like in an arm chair) and too much lack of movement such as driving and not moving my left foot can aggravate the condition. Also recently I have been "subjected" to about a month of a severe overabundance of candy and desserts and am havng pains in my feet again plus gained several pounds. The goodies are finished so now that temptation is out of the house the pain and pounds should leave.

In summary: Discuss this with your primary care physician and ask if you should have your blood checked for glucose tolerance with a long test. Untreated, this can lead to severe complications.
