Thank you for your response. I've had neuropathy 20 years. It began with pain and numbness in my right great toe, traveled to my left great toe and over three years it had traveled halfway up both calves, I'd experience pain, in both feet in bed at night, pain along outer aspect R lower leg, leg cramps, all were said be due to spinal stenosis by my Neurologist. I was advised to have back surgery which in 2015 and again in 2022, I'm 83 years old and have other medical issues. so I have not elected to have surgery. I am able to achieve an active exercise program at the local YMCA which I have lessened in intensity over the years but I try to get in 3 to4 times and they include Balance, Pool, exercise bike, and walking. I find I'm walking less and less as my feet become very heavy and it's an effort to move them. My back is not a persistent problem with regard to pain. I do get adjusted once a month and more often if a sciatica issue pops up, as it has twice in the last three years. other wise my back bothers me only if I'm on my feet too long and it goes away if I sit for awhile.
