Im so very sorry to hear about your husband. I have severe neuropathy in my feet - a few months ago I fell down the stairs because my ankle gives out on me and broke my entire ankle and didnt even realize it until 2 days later. I will try absolutely anything so my hubby doesnt get it. Even if I freeze his hands and feet off. lol.
A few supplements that I take are listed below. They are supposed to help with neuropathy - I have it from nerve damage from a spinal fusion - but it may help him.
*Alpha-Lipoic Acid
*Benfotiamine
*B complex
Im gonna try trumeric too.
Hope this helps

@kmbori I have neuropathy in my feet from previous back surgery as well. The chemo gave me a double whammy and affects my lower legs too. I wear compression socks up to my knees, use heated leg and foot air massagers, apply arnicare gel, ice, and I walk a lot. I wear ankle and foot supports to help with stability. I think the combination of things has helped, but it doesn't ever go away. I just try to minimize it.

Yes, that neuropathy can be terrible. My husband fell a lot towards the end... not always because of neuropathy, but I'm sure it didn't help that his balance was compromised from lack of feeling. It really is amazing he didn't break a bone or two or three with his falls!
I'm wishing the best for you and your husband.
