Thanks for the reply. I looked at your profile and found some older posts that where of help which Im going to look over more closely. I too have to use the cart but Ive noticed Im getting looks when Im walking with it. I have New Balances similar to your Brooks but now Im finding shoes with thick soles make me feel disconnected from the ground and that Im floating and now my right foot is twisting to the right when walking. I noticed my current neurologist ticked off that I had an MRI but I never have under his care. I might have when I was in another city while in the hospital but its never been brought up so Im going to mention this. Im going to try out the foot exercises you mentioned too.
I guess my fear is im making my feet worse with exercise. I keep bringing it up but once any doctor hears neuropathy they brush it off and no further testing. Walking makes my feet feel worse, real numb and my ankle is feeling like its going to collapse. Cannot walk in socks at all. Ive brought this up and Charcot and it feels like I have to have a complete collapse before they will look into it. I can tell there is something going on top of the neuropathy but keep getting ignored so I am at a loss. Im contemplating going to the ER again but know it will be brushed off. I went there months ago and its gotten worse. I just want to know if my muscles have atrophied so much or what it is. Its just adding to the stress of this. Im going to go read some of your older posts I found.
