I came here to try and get some feedback/suggestions. I feel so bad because although my neuropathy in my left leg goes from foot to hip and right leg from foot to thigh, I do not seem to have the consistent pain that others do! I have the occasional brief snap of electricity but that’s it.
I have a difficult time walking and had to give up driving as I can’t feel the gas/break pedals. I’m 76 with an autoimmune disease as well as end stage emphysema so now I’m pretty home bound!

Howdy from Colorado, Ma'am!
I'm sorry to hear about your pain and of your challenges.
Peripheral Neuropathy is NOT for sissies, is it? What you say about your numbness being different in each leg.
When your Neuropathy firdt started coming on, did it start in one leg and then the other, or was it both at once?
Did it start in your feet? Mine did, and I first noticed that I had 'drop foot' in my right leg not 4 months after I had a total knee replacement on that same side. In fact, in a follow-up appointment with the Doc who did the knee replacement I asked him if they left a SPONGE inside me or nicked a tendon.
(He didn't laugh)
When I explained the
drop foot issue to him he assured me it would go away as my knee replacement settled in. Nope.
Be kind to yourself,
-Don
