How do you manage neuropathy and loss of balance and walking ability?

Welcome @rigsrigsrigs, Thanks for providing my first smile of the morning as one that could probably be mistaken for that old TV commercial "Help! I've fallen and can't get up." Moving to slow is no longer a problem for me, it's my new normal along with the senior shuffle. Fortunately I haven't had a hard fall in quite a few years and hope to keep it that way.
On the plus side, I also only have numbness with my neuropathy which is something to be thankful for as it could be worse. How long have you been dealing with neuropathy?

My neuropathy pain is constant, feet burn, feel swollen, toes are numb, pins and needles feeling constant. Am mostly bedridden use cane for support to get to bathroom. Have tried all the usually recommended meds: gabapentin etc. Pain effects my appetite, causing nausea, so have lost 30 lbs i am very small 5 ft now weighing 97 and very weak. Neuropathy pain burning in hands as well but not nearly as bad as feet. Lidocaine roller used to help temporarily. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
