My neuropathy in my Feet & Legs has been getting progressively sores over the past few months. I live a sedimentary live style and I know I should walk more; but with the Neuropathy and weight problems I find very difficult to walk any distance with out either needing to rest. [1/2 kl. is about all I can manage] So I have taken to using a Mobility Scooter around my town [too large to use in stores]. I use to use a Walker before things got as bad as has. I would like to know if there any medications /or devises that I could use to make my mobility better.
I try to get sleep, but sometimes its just not possible without tiring my self out [Hot Baths etc.] So any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. By the way I live in British Columbia, Canada T.Y Leonard

Welcome Leonard @leonard1946bowring, I don't have sores on my feet and legs but I do have issues walking any distance due to my back. It has gotten better for me after losing weight but that was just part of my problem. I have a home exercise bike that I try to use 30 to 45 minutes 3 or 4 days a week to help with leg strength. An inactive lifestyle is definitely not your friend if you have neuropathy. Here is some information from the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy that might be helpful:

You mentioned progressive sores on your feet and legs. Are you diabetic? Have you seen a doctor about the sores on your feet and legs?
