I have neuropathy and dropped foot caused from chemo and it is both in my hands and feet. I wear the AFOs but two years later I am still wearing them and using a walker. I can not walk without the walker. My hands are no better either. My neuropathy doctor only wants to increase my meds but I do not want this. I want something that works for me wether it is a shoe or a different natural medicine. I would be thrilled to hear from somebody who shares my issues. I could walk on my own two years ago and now I am handicapped doing my best to take care of a husband who has dementia.
