Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

@megidigo Correct, I have no pain. Now 11 years into this, I mostly have numbness from shins to toes, a feeling of tight socks, poor balance and for the most part walk with a cane. I have axonal sensory motor PN, no autonomic features as of a few years back. I have bilateral drop foot. The fact you have hammertoes and high arches, did the doctor do a test for Charcot-Marie-Tooth? I went to a neuro doc and told him my grandmother had hammer toes, and he ordered a CMT test, came back negative. What a complicated mess.

@njed I have wandered about CMT but when I mentioned the toes and arches the neurologist didnt say much other than its the motor nerves causing it.
I noticed one day in the mirror my arch wasnt flattening / retracting. I put the bad balance down due to neuropathy but its the high arches causing me to walk on the outside of me feet. Its an annoying uncomfortable feeling.
I guess its not CMT as no one else in my family has CMT and I believe its hereditary? I might as well have it though since the symptoms are the same including muscle wasting. Mine is axonal as well.
Has anything helped you at all in the 11 years?
