Neuropathy sudden stiffness in my feet & ankles.

Hello @wbp, Welcome to Connect. I know the feeling. Took a fall and had stitches above my eye due to glasses gouging my forehead due to doing a pirouette in the kitchen with my upper body and the feet didn't get the message to turn with the body. It has forced me to think when moving too quickly. How long have you been dealing with neuropathy? Do you have any pain or take any medications for neuropathy?

@johnbishop Lots of pain but if I hold very still in just the right spot in my recliner, it's so much better. Unfortunately cannot live my life like that. It is so frightening to have feet and legs freeze - can you tell now when it's coming? I've had neuropathy getting worse for years but just worked around it at first. Now it's wheelchair time. I take Aleve and have ordered gummies for pain to see if that helps. I don't want to get high or dizzy just more comfortable. I feel sorry for us - I was hoping for no more surgery in my remaining years.
