I haven't seen any posts about numbness in feet. This has made it difficult walking as I can't really feel what is underfoot. Anyone else dealing with this and does anything help.

Hi @suzylulu - Most people with peripheral neuropathy have both numbness and pain. I only have the numbness with mine. I found something that has worked for me and others but may not work for everyone. You can view my story here on Connect at this link below:

When you have numbness in the feet it is extremely important to exam your feet daily. I now wear socks all the time so that if I do injure the bottom of the feet I can tell right away. I also use a moisturizing lotion on my feet and legs to make sure the skin is hydrated.

Did your doctor give you a diagnosis for the numbness in the feet?
