Is it Peripheral neuropathy?,

Hello @ttl1520, I would like to add my welcome along with Hank @jesfactsmon and other members. I've had neuropathy in my legs and feet for over 20 years and am now in my late 70s. I listened to an 80 year old neurologist at a Minnesota Neuropathy Association meeting a few years back and he told us if you live long enough everyone gets neuropathy. He explained it by telling us nerves cells like other parts of our body eventually die off. Your symptoms could be neuropathy but only a doctor can provide a diagnosis.

You mentioned having tired legs and are losing energy. Here are a couple of articles that provide some suggestions and that you might find helpful:
- What to know about tired legs: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/tired-legs
- What's Causing My Tired Legs? - University Health News: https://universityhealthnews.com/daily/heart-health/causing-tired-legs/

Did your doctors offer any suggestions or additional testing to determine a diagnosis?

Hi John. Thanks for replying. Thanks for the web site. I used to ski, ice skate & play hockey. Probably a lot of wear and tear. I remember skiing when it was very cold. I would come in to warm up and took my boots off. Initially couldn't feel the floor. I went to Dent Neurological and am supposed to go back in April for further evaluation. Thanks again, Ted.
