I also have peripheral neuropathy starting in my legs and spreading now into my hands, especially fingers.
My balance and walking instability was improved immensely when I started wearing leg braces. While they are a bit cumbersome, I am able to walk quite well more efficiently and with much less fatigue.
I take 100mg of Gabapentin 3x/day with few side effects and much less pain in my back and down one leg.

Can someone tell me how peripheral neuropathy differs from other types of neuropothy?

Thanks,
Margot
