Hi, I also just have numbness in feet. It is awful, I have had just slight numbness for about 4 years due to diabetes then when I was Dx 3 years ago with Multiple Myeloma and taking chemo pills it's much worse. What do you do for this? I'm afraid it will become worse and one day not be able to walk or drive! Since no pain there is nothing for numbness. Thank you

@ancopau1998 There is another discussion on neuropathy with only numbness symptoms that you might find helpful here - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/neuropathy-numbness-only-no-pain/.

I worried a lot about the numbness getting worse and not being able to drive but I think you just have to take it a day at a time and try to live a healthier lifestyle and exercise some when you are able. I do make sure to keep my legs and feet moisturized and check them daily since the nerves are close to the skin and I think keeping the skin from drying out helps.

Keep walking, working out and get wt down to ideal.
wear great shoes. I have found Hoka brand pricey but worth every penny. Sleep, sleep as your body needs to rest and repair itself. I take 25mg of THC at bedtime and I'm out for 8 hours. Keep positive.
