Idiopathic Polyneuropathy: My endless journey to a near-diagnosis …

Hello Ray @ray666.
Sorry for the delay in responding but I have been busy the last couple of days. I feel that as far as my neuropathy goes I will have to just cope as it is. With no cure it all comes down to pain relief. My feet are numb to above the ankles, so some pain is ok. The reality is if that pain goes the problem becomes serious. As far as my spinal problems go, apart from the stenosis I have a syrinx in my spinal cord from T4 to T10 which is causing me more pain and discomfort at the moment. I have placed a post in the spinal section regarding support for Syringomyelia.

Hello, Rob (@rob39)
It seems the most we can do is just keep doing those things that we're still able to do and that at least maybe slow down any further progression. For the past four months, I've been taking an at-home (online) physical therapy workshop specifically for balance. I am not sure if it is helping, not in any spectacular ways anyway, but it may be helping to keep what neuropathy I have confined (for the time being) to my feet and below my knees. Reading the many posts here on Mayo Connect is helping, too, to educate me. Until recently, I had no idea what my balance difficulties were all about.
Cheers!
