Hello Everyone, I was diagnosed with PN 12 months ago. Within the past two weeks, my left foot is red and swollen when I wake and gets redder and more swollen throughout the day.
Two questions:
In your experience does this ebb and flow or just get worse over time?
Also, we are purchasing a three-level town-home in a few weeks. Does anyone with these feet issues have trouble going up and down stairs?
Thank you kindly for your support and direction.
Martin

@martinsmckinney PN should not make your foot swell. I would advise seeing a doctor. With neuropathy you lose the feeling in your feet and thus can have trouble balancing. This can lead to falls which on stairs would not be good. If going stairs, a handrail that you grip well and then walk slow and careful would at least the minimum to do. Also neuropathy can cause weakness in the legs making it hard to climb stairs. I have not been able to go stairs for years because of my neuropathy.
