I have had motor neuropathy for several years now in my feet, legs, hands and arms. It began with numb feet, but has spread and I now feel that it is moving into my thighs. However, at 83, I am lucky to still be here, so I try to deal with it as best I can. I have not really found any drugs that help with the burning and pain, but Vic's Vapour rub or similar, is amazingly helpful at night when these horrid feelings make it difficult to sleep. Apparently this is quite widely known with fellow sufferers, but not by Drs so they never suggest this remedy. The greatest fear is of falling, and one can't always avoid this, uneven surfaces are a nightmare and you do tend to walk looking at the floor for hazards!!! I wish you luck with it all. Distraction, if possible, is the only answer as there is no cure apparently, so when things get me down, I hop onto my mobility scooter, hitch up our dog , and off we go. We are fortunate enough to live in a beautiful area, and I go and lose myself in nature. Best wishes to you, and hope this helps.
