I am 73, 5 years ago I was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy, which I am told is a mild case, idiopathic. It started in my left foot and progressively has now engulfed both feet and lower legs. I am happy to say that I have NO PAIN, just numbness and some tingling. My only relief is Gabapentin, low dose, which I may not even need (just for sleep). Now, I have always been concerned that my condition resulted from drug interactions, but I am only taking a couple of meds, and these have been ruled out. So I feel resigned to having PN. My questions deal with the future: how much will it progress into the upper legs? Will I come to a point where I am unable to be mobile? I have no issues with my hands/arms, although I do have more difficulty writing these days. Could my condition be something else, like MS, given no pain?
