I was diagnosed in the nineties but only during the last 5 years it has gotten difficult, meaning only short 20-30 minute walks, lots of numbness up to my knees but no pain. Six months ago I was examined again by neurologists who confirmed my case but offered nothing as remedies. I am looking for any basic exercises and/or external physical or medicinal applications to improve or at least slow down the neuropathy. Thanks.

@theodore1238, My neurologist basically told me the same thing, there's nothing he can do to help with the numbness and said just to call if it gets worse. That's what brought me to Connect and searching for what coud help. The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has some information on exercises that might be helpful here -- https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/lifestyle/exercise-and-physical-therapy/

They had a webinar on May 21, 2021 you might find helpful also.
