If worsened after tkr in 2016z BC came along in 2020 and I went on plant based diet and lost 50!lbs., My neuropathy was so much better… almost gone after being pretty tuff.,during this time I was taking harmony therapy for my cancer. End of January I had Phizrr vax. I immediately started having more pain in feet legs and hand was completely useless . I had many other reactions. I decided it was the hormones therapy snd quit taking it in Fed most difficult effects went away but my neuropathy got worse I have to walk with a cane snd cannot bare long pants or skirts to touch my leg . Shoes must by open and no socks., no covers on my legs at night either. It just keeps getting worse. I’m thinking it must be a different side effect of the vaccine there is no
Other reason got me to be a cripple

Doubt the vaccine is the culprit. I do believe losing weight can help but even thin people have neuropathy.

Hello @beckypetty, Welcome to Connect. Sorry to hear your neuropathy is getting worse. A lot of us struggle daily with some of life's limitations caused by neuropathy. I know it's not much help saying you are not alone but one common goal we all have is searching for something that will provide that little bit of extra relief to give us some quality of life. I'm not sure if you have seen some of the complementary or integrative therapies that have helped others with neuropathy but the Foundation of Peripheral Neuropathy has some suggestions you may find helpful here -- https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/lifestyle/managing-peripheral-neuropathy/
You may also find a few other discussions helpful by reading posts from other member and learning what has helped them.

I think it's great that you lost 50 lbs on your plant based diet which I'm sure was a big help. Have you tried doing any type of exercises to help with your mobility?
