@johnbishop what do they do for the small fiber neuropathy? Does it also cause leg spasticity at night? Thanks

@meadows I have had 4 back surgeries. The last one was a 5 1/2 hr. Fusion.No more pain but I have limited use of my legs, a drop right food and My Neuropathy is worse. My balance is terrible so need a cane to walk. After 3 yrs of PT NO improvement in my balance. I'm doing my exercises at home with my own PT equipment. I feel fortunate to have no pain and I'm 88. Happy to be alive.
