Weakness in legs: Is this part of neuropathy?

Welcome @kekimmel, Quite a few members have tried red light therapy and I think it's a mixed review - helpful for some, not so helpful for others. Here's a link listing the different discussions and comments from members on using red light therapy for neuropathy: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/.
I'm glad to hear that you keep walking. I just wished I was able to walk more but I'm still thankful that I can walk even though not very fast or well. The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has a list of complementary and alternative treatments for neuropathy if you haven't already seen it - https://www.foundationforpn.org/treatments/.
Have you looked into other alternative treatments other than red light therapy?

I have tried a lot of different things for neuropathy. I have taken the drugs which I don’t like. I prefer no drugs the side effects are just as bad as the neuropathy. I’ve had 8 surgeries and will not do any more of them it takes me to long now to recover. Have the spine stimulators. They worked for a year. Now they think that it’s over stimulating me they have adjusted it but still not helping as well as it did at first. I do therapy in therapy right now to try and get some strength back in my legs after surgery. I read that magnesium chloride foot baths can help so started doing that 3 times a week. I also found Vitality frankincense oil balm helps a lot at night rubbing it in my feet a calf. I can sleep through the night for now but my experiences with neuropathy I find something that works and then later it doesn’t anymore so when I see other avenues I try I do how ever never believe that they can cure this. Maybe help me manage my pain but don’t believe there’s a cure. So sad
