@wilcy Have you considered surgery for your spinal stenosis? My brother-in-law had that and the surgery was a great success.

@wilcy
You better keep a close eye on your Stenosis. I know a man who ignored it and became a paraplegic and another man who is well on his way to paralysis.
“Only thing that helps are the drinks!”
I don’t believe those drinks are helping, my guess would be they are causing additional problems.

Neurologist told my husband that alcohol is second most common reason to have neuropathy following diabetes. She also said it could be several years after you stop drinking to see any change in Neuropathy. But if you keep drinking it will get worse. Just an FYI.
