i have the neuropathy in both legs from the knee down too. no pain, and sometimes its mainly in my ankles and arch of my feet. i play tennis four days a week. i worry that it may get worse. haven't heard of anything to do to stop the dying off of the nerves that cause this. Feels like i have on compression hose sometimes.

any advice from anyone? how to stop progression if that is even possible

@judypaley I've had sensory motor PN for 9 + years, no pain like you, numbness from right below knees to toes. Remain active and as a previous tennis player myself, continue to play and don't stop. I haven't heard of anything that can prevent progression, however, some key words from my doctor appointment at Mayo Clinic was "stay active" which I've managed to do within my range of comfort. Best to you. Ed
