I have PN too in my feet. No pain just numb. I have as told by neurologist it is due to my diabetes 2 . Balance and weight walking are challenging. The neurologist wrote a script for pt. I have never been to PT and I am wondering if anyone out there has benefitted from it. I am 77 and worried about mobility also. I bought a lightweight walker and have a cane. I don't use either 100 per cent if the time but I do use them if a lot of walking us required. I understand the person who is scared and whose wife is not aware I f the severity. When I tell people about PN they just look at me with what appears to be no understanding. Hell what do we expect?? Our doctors don't fully understand and they are suppose to be the experts!
