I have severe stiffness in my ankles and feet now, and virtually total loss of sensation. This makes walking and balance very difficult now. Does anyone else also have that dreadful feeling of weariness when you try to walk? I really find it impossible now to walk any distance at all. However, I am 82, so am never sure if old age is a factor. I use a mobility scooter to be able to take our dog on walks, so I still get plenty of fresh air. I relate also to not being safe on uneven surfaces, cobbled surfaces are a total nightmare.

Thanks for your reply. I am currently trying some physical therapy. The stiffness is there most of the time but does seem to be worse at night or if I've been on my feet for a while. Hopefully, the PT will help a little. It's uncomfortable but I think I worry more about the progression of the PN. This stiffness and tightness are new so I wonder what's next. Actually one of my physical therapists suggested wearing compression socks to see if that helped. I only tried it a day or two and didn't notice much difference.
