Hi Diane @dianelow, Welcome to Connect. I have similar symptoms except for the burning. I just have numbness and a little tingling with my small fiber peripheral neuropathy. I normally use magnesium lotion at night also but have tried a multitude of others. The magnesium lotions seems to calm my feet and legs some. Lots of member experience here on Connect and the search function is pretty good if you are looking for a more specific topic. Sounds like you are doing great with the exercise classes. Balance is always a concern for a lot of us. I practice the senior shuffle year around so that I will be ready for the snow and ice when winter comes. 🙃

About the only recommendation I can make that you are probably already doing is to learn as much as you can about the condition and the different treatments that are available and stay active. If you haven't already seen the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy, it's a great place to learn more about neuropathy - https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/. They also have a YouTube channel with a lot of information webinars - https://www.youtube.com/@foundationforperipheralneu4122.
