I would really like to connect with some place that REALLY assists with the problems of peripheral neuropathy (non-diabetic). I have severe pain in the feet, radiating to the knees. With it comes poor balance, requiring a walker to keep from falling. It is constant!!!! I have no relief. Sleep is difficult. Are there any solutions out there? Please help !!!

Hello @madgemgunia, Welcome to Connect, an online community where patients and caregivers share their experiences, find support and exchange information with others. I know it doesn't help much to tell you that you are not alone, but what can help is learning what options you might have. You can do that by learning as much as you can about your neuropathy diagnosis, treatments available, and possibly what has helped other members. Here are a few discussions that you might want to read and learn what other members have shared.

Also, here are a couple of sites to you learn more about neuropathy and treatment options available.

Do you mind sharing a little more about your diagnosis and any treatments that you have tried or are using now?
