@jakedduck1 you’re welcome! All those stages are no picnic. Don’t know which is worse, pain or no pain? I believe I presently have the first stage with symptoms of pains being sharp and burning along with numbness. Since my neuropathy developed from surgery, I hope it does not progress. I recently( 1 1/2 months ago) started an exercise routine existing of an hour or more 3 times a week. So far I have not noticed it making a significant difference but I do plan to continue. I believe exercise has many benefits including reducing stress. Trouble is neuropathy limits which activities we can do with our imbalance issues. Wish you well. Toni
