Hello @tmarvin, Welcome to Connect. I'm sorry to hear you haven't found any help or support for your neuropathy. I know it can be depressing at times when there seems to be no hope and living alone can make things harder for you. I wonder if it might help to read through some of the members stories about their neuropathy. I think you might find the following discussion helpful since a lot of us with neuropathy have struggled trying to find something that provides relief for the pain, numbness and other symptoms.

I think what really helped me when I first joined Connect was learning from other members experience and doing my own research to learn more about neuropathy and what options are available that might provide some relief. You might find the following sites helpful for learning more about neuropathy.
-- Neuropathy Commons: https://neuropathycommons.org/neuropathy/neuropathy-overview
-- Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy: https://www.foundationforpn.org/
Can you share a little more about your neuropathy diagnosis and how long you have had neuropathy?

I was diagnosed with neuropathy about 1 1/2 year ago. For about 3 years I kept telling my Dr that my legs feel weak and I was then told that physical therapy might help. That did NOT help. I have severe burning sensation in my middle back when ever I bend. Also, Dr told me that my SI joint has wear and that he felt that an steroid injection would help. It di NOT help. The SI injection was very painful even with the numbing before. I'm at a loss as to where to turn to for help. Very little sleep and painful walking. I'm going to read on this site all options that others have given. There still might be some HOPE.
