Have dealt with increasing neuropathy for almost 10 years. It began after a long hot walk on concrete and then standing on concrete for another 30 minutes. The discomfort in legs and feet were slight at first and sometimes unnoticeable. However year after year my lower. legs ( not my feet) became more and more uncomfortable with aching, tightness (no swelling) and numbness. I began wearing compression socks and trying to avoid standing in one position for long periods of time. This has helped. I began acupuncture with electrical stimulation on my legs and feet and continued for about a year. This helped. We moved and I started laser treatments which were helpful but very expensive. Since stopping laser my feet have become involved, the discomfort or pain travels past my knees into the thigh and I am having difficulty with balance. I continue to exercise a hour or more daily but am not sure how long I will be able to continue.
