Welcome Rick @rjack6618, I know it must be difficult for you having lost mobility to the point where you need a wheelchair. That is one of the things I worry about a lot with my neuropathy even though I don't have any pain, just the numbness. You mentioned you are in the process of having different images and testing done by a neurologist. Does your doctor think you have additional spinal nerve damage affecting your ability to walk?

I think they are looking for that possibility. I had a back X-ray to check the hardware from my back surgery 3 years ago. I’ve completed an EMG on my lower legs. I’ve completed an MRI on my neck because I had throat cancer 17 years ago and went through 48 radiation therapy on my neck. Last thing I have to do is a Mylogram CT which I’m doing on the 19th. Then I will see the Neurosurgeon to discuss the results of all the images. I am using an Ellipse machine daily as much as I have the energy for. I still can’t walk without the walker but it does keep my swelling down.
