I'm Marjorie and I am 72 years old. I suffer with diabetic neuropathy in both legs from the knee down. I take Lyrica. Helps a little bit. My mobility has declined greatly. Using a walker now. Soon to get a wheelchair. I'm open to any helpful tips:) Thank you.

Hello Marjorie @mlben, Welcome to Connect. I'm sorry to hear that your mobility is declining from the diabetic neuropathy. You are not alone and I'm sure others can relate. Losing my mobility is my greatest fear with my idiopathic small fiber peripheral neuropathy. The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has a lot of information on living well with neuropathy that you might helpful here - https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/.

Have you looked into any kind of exercises that might help with your leg strength or is the pain to great to exercise?
