Anyone lost the ability to walk due to peripheral neuropathy?

I have numbness in both legs. I do wear compression socks frequently. I have been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy. I’ve had X-ray of my back, an MRI OF MY NECK, a EMG on both lower legs, and a Mylogram CT. These tests were ordered by a neurosurgeon who I will be seeing this coming Friday to discuss the results of those tests. I am anxious to see what the doctor has to say about the tests and where we go from here.

You are blessed with a good wife!

I have cervical and lumbar spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, cervical myelopathy spinal cord compression injury, neurogenic claudication, small fiber neuropathy, etc.

My cervical myelopathy and lumbar severe stenosis/neurogenic claudication caused numbness and weakness in my legs. It is hard to walk and control movements. My feet would go totally numb when walking.

I had cervical ACDF surgery on c5-c6 in 2022 and need it done on c6-c7 this year (soon). I also had lumbar decompression and fusion surgery on l3-l5 in 2024. With both surgeries, my symptoms improved but my will most likely need future surgeries due to aging degenerative changes. I am currently in my mid 50s so have a long road ahead.

Hope you get some answers and options soon.
