Anyone lost the ability to walk due to peripheral neuropathy?

What do the knee injections do if you are not in pain? Do they cause the numbness to go away? If so, that means you have inflammation and irritation in the joint from too much rubbing and movement. You need stability in your knee which sounds like knee replacement may help..
Have you only tried cortisone shots or have you tried biologics?

I do have pain in my knees. I use Voltarin cream for that pain. I do not have pain from my knees down just numbness. I do take pregablin twice a day that controls the pain in my lower legs and feet. It is cortisone that is injected in my knees. Not only does that take away any pain that the cream doesn’t take away but I can get out of my chair easily I can stand straighter and longer and my steps with my walker are stronger and easier. I really think if my knees were replaced I could do physical therapy better and walk more which would build strength in my lower legs sooner. Thanks for your response.
