Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

The one thing do use to help me walk is a foot brace. They are made of neoprene plastic &fit under the insole of my shoe. I buy my shoes a 1/2 to one size bigger. You can go online & look under nueropathy foot brace for $60. Have you heard of research on how to regenerate the nerves?

@bob1946 - I have large and small fiber neuropathy. - idiopathic axonal PN. Numbness, poor balance just two of several issues. The brace I use is an ankle foot orthotic covered by my insurance. Without these on which is not often, I must use a cane. With them on, I rarely use a cane unless I'm walking outside on uneven surfaces. Diagnosed in 2015 at Mayo in MN. Ed

Small fiber nerves regenerate. Long fiber nerves do not.
The frustrating thing you are taught in anatomy and physiology that nerves don’t regenerate period. I have read an article about marijuana and nerve regeneration out of Israel.
This is not easy reading.
