Driving making neuropathy of the feet worse

I concur! Sorry to resurrect an old convo but this is what happens when I'm up at 1 in the morning because of pain.

Driving has been challenging me for months....going going, gone.

Neuropathy has given me such pain and discomfort in my right toe and foot and both legs that I am no longer able to drive comfortably or safely. It exacerbates the pain. Walking, sitting, you name it, is difficult just the same. I have driven with my left foot in order to get home and realized that this just isn't working anymore.

Can I tell you how frustrated I am to lose my independence. My Mother, Father, Aunt and Uncle all in their 70's cart my 49 year old butt around for appointments, infusions, groceries, etc... I should be doing this for them!

Not as I planned my life that's for sure which is why I will continue to persevere and keep holding my Drs accountable to help me until there is no more help to give or find. And I continue to listen and learn from you folks who bring experience to the table.

Thanks for being here.
Rachel

Hi Rachael, have you considered converting you car to hand controls.?
