Welcome @jrsal, Your neuropathy journey sounds very similar to mine except mine started in my mid to late 40s. I'm 82 now, still no pain with the neuropathy but do have some numbness and a little tingling. I also wear compression socks up to the knees which make it a little hard to gauge between the squeezing of the legs and the numbness. I shared my neuropathy journey in another discussion here - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/310341/.
Probably the best thing you can do is just keep moving and live as healthy as you can. The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has a lot of great information to help you learn more - https://www.foundationforpn.org/lifestyles/.
I think my neuropathy might be due to my fitting into the prediabetes and metabolic syndrome which non of my doctors ever talked about or mentioned.

I think staying active like you are is a great plus. Does your neuropathy cause you any balance problems?
