Yes, over the past 15 years ankle weakness has progressed. I cannot not give you numbers, but disease direct weakness, pain and extra stress from numbness derived balance issues. If you do require some support or touch spot for balance, I found that a custom cane helps greatly for comfort and confidense.

@dckuke Tjis is old bashful bob. I too have neurophy in the hans dand legs. about two years ago I was in pretty fair health. except for the foot numness, I went out side to work and there was a very funny smell in the air. I didn't think to much about it until I started to feel weak and as I was walking around my Garage I lost my balance and fell. I went into the house about 100 feet away. I made it but I was very weak. As I did my whole life, I said to my self you are not going to live this way. I started doing soft excersizs sitting in a chair. Arm, legs Body twist.every thing hurt to start. Showing me just how out of shape I was. After two weeks my body was building up. Not fast enough for me so I started modified push up using my kitchen counter.I could walk only aqbout 200 feet and my lungs gave out. So I found a small hill to build up my lungs and body. I didn't stop the excersize but kept it up increasing every week. Yesterday I walked a mile up hill then down. No problem. Or pain I use the red light or infared with a vibrator treatment on my feet and legs also drink my two table spoons of Apple cider vinigar in water every day as a natural blood thinner to open up my vains and get the oxygen to my feet and body. Today I feel very good. My nuerophy isn't bothering me as much and getting better and my balance is doing much better. When you do something like this you can't over do it. I started at 30 min twice a day. and just sitting in my chair watching TV, I do boxing. punches with the air that dosen't strike back. I don't believe in modern meds so I use Herbs. and excersize to that works wonderful no side effects. Good luck on what ever you do. By the way I will be 90 in a couple mo.
