Welcome @shnancy, Sorry to hear that you have to deal with pain that has been worsening for the past 4 years. I have small fiber peripheral neuropathy but only have the numbness and some tingling which started in my late 40s in my toes but has now gotten into my feet and legs. I'm 83 now and do have to use a walker in the house at night for bathroom trips but so far I'm able to keep my balance during the day without one.

What has helped me the most was changing my lifestyle by trying to eat healthier along with a little daily exercise 4 to 5 days a week. If you haven't seen the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy website, they have a lot of helpful suggestions on living well with neuropathy - https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/.

Are you on any treatments for your pain?
