I injured my left ankle before my neuropathy. I have always felt weak in that foot. I asked for physical therapy for my neuropathy and that helped strengthen my muscles. I also have drop foot on same foot from a back surgery. Therapy helps, but you have to keep it up. I have been lazy and know I feel weaker like before. I also wore a soft brace first and it supports some but then the muscles depend on that brace. So bathroom trips at night were challenging. I have to stand up and make sure my feet are there. I walk very carefully. I put my tennis shoes on now, something about them supports my foot and let's me walk more confident. I have random pains and most of them quit by morning. Sometimes I have extreme sharp pains in my toes, they don't last long but boy they hurt. Before I asked for therapy I felt like my bones moved around in my skin on my foot. Sounds weird, it felt weird like the two were not connected. Therapy changed that. I had a really good therapist who made me work.
