I totally agree…..
We have to keep moving as much as physically possible. I do my best to keep the legs & feet engaged. Took a 3 mile trail walk today. Yes my feet are hurting a bit now. But I’m determined to keep moving. PN does enough damage & contributes to muscle lose.

I've started pt and get on the treadmill. Hopefully that will help strengthen my legs. I also do Tai chi which helps with my balance. I just have to figure out how to enjoy and live my life with this condition. I'll get there!

Hello, Mafalda (@mafalda)

I'm another PNer whose chief complaint is poor balance and leg weakness. Both symtoms were worsened last spring when I came down with a septic infection, rendering me bed-ridden for most of last year. I'm a great believer in exercise, and I have a PT helper (although we're currently between insurance-approved episodes). I'm wondering what your experience was in recovering leg strength. Was it as maddeningly incremental as it has shown itself to be for me? Friends have told me not to expect a recovery overnight. And I don't. Nor will I give up trying. But I'm always interested in hearing what others' experience at recovering leg strength was like.

My very best wishes!
