A 64-year-old man’s complaints had begun four years earlier with a burning pain at the glans of the penis, which lasted for several days, and was followed by a numb feeling that resolved after a few weeks. Some months later, there was an electric shock-like sensation at the side of his right lower leg, soon followed by numbness in that affected skin area. Over the ensuing years, there was a repeating pattern of a short-lasting sharp, burning pain, often during only one day, which evolved into a numb feeling that most of the time resolved completely in weeks to months.

The frequency of the attacks had not changed over the years.
