I’ll be 82 next month & I’ve had PN for 17 years I ride an E-BIKE about 30 miles 3 or 4 days a week & do PT 2 days a week for balance & strength. My feet are still numb & stiff but not nearly as bad if I didn’t exercise. It also gives me much more confidence to get through each day. Also, for pain I take 4.5 mg of LDN-low dose naltrexone which really works well.

@solobeee1 Thanks for mentioning LDN! I'm going to check it out. I've been taking Indomethican for back pain mostly for a few years now and it works pretty good, but would love to reduce or get off of it altogether. It sounds like a wonder drug!

And although I don't have the pain that many speak about with PN, it sure is bothersome. I haven't been diagnosed yet. I figure why spend money on a neurologist to diagnose me when there's plenty of info online that tells me I have all the symptoms? I did break down and made an appointment for a nerve conduction test in July, (first available!) I guess that will tell me how bad it is? But if it's going to get worse, I'd like to try something like LDN to knock down the pain.
