My husband has had extremely painful Neuropathy for about 10 years. He has now lost all ability to stand and walk. He had intensive Physiotherapathy for 2 years and nothing changed except our fading bank balance. He is now in a wheelchair permanently and requires lifter to move into bed etc. Has anyone else lost the ability to stand and walk because of Neuropathy.

Hello @rhonnie24, Welcome to Connect. I can't even begin to imagine how difficult it has to be for you as a caregiver, as well as your husband to deal with his loss of the ability to stand and walk due to his painful neuropathy. I don't think you are alone and I'm hoping other members who may have some experience can respond. My only suggestion that has helped me in my neuropathy journey is to learn as much as you can about the condition and what is available that might help provide some relief. One of the better sites I've found to learn more is the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy - https://www.foundationforpn.org/.

You mentioned he had intensive physiotherapy for 2 years and has had neuropathy for 10 years. Is your husband taking any medications to help with the pain?
