New to neuropathy, terrified and seeking advice from you guys

I thought I was healthy at 72. In 2020 I developed intense pain in my legs. The result is now I use a walker because of my not being stable. The U of M neurologist has recently doubled my prescription for pregabalin. It seems I am weaker and more unstable. The medication does help with the pain and gives me sleep.

Welcome @leroyj3, It's good that the medication helps with the pain and lets you get some sleep at night. Are you able to do any exercises to help with your balance?
