I’ve had neuropathy in my legs and it spread up to my groin. The oddest is from feet to legs. Also hammer-toe on each
Of my ten digits. Needless to say, my balance has been shot. I’m ok walking short distances but standing in one place is all but impossible w/o a cane or something to lean on.
Also arthritis throughout with end stage in bothshoulders deterioration.
I keep on pushing. I keep trying.
Mornings are best. The RX prescribed is Gabapentin but I can’t take that hangover.
The neuropathy pain is not so bad.
Any suggestions I can pass to my docs is welcome.

I can relate. Undiagnosed burning pain in my hands and feet. Gabapentin Lyrica all sorts of drugs. Not good. Didn't help. The mindset is key. Being calm. Getting your rest. Nutrition overall. Check what you eat each day. Inflammation is bad for this. Start cleaning it up. Good luck to you.
