Just this past Friday after my EMG, my doctor said my PN was severe/end stage. I was told to always sit in the shower and to always use a cane or walker. I had already been doing this for several years. I will add that I have had this for 13 and originally was just numb toes and balls of my feet. It slowly progressed to my entire feet and up my shins to my knees. Luckily, I have no pain, only weird numbness. But I can feel heat, cold, and pain.
I highly recommend a shower stool to not fall.
Good luck with your medical issues.
The PN and other neurological issues seem to be way down the list of research and care
My neurologist schedule may allow for bi-monthly visits at best
The groups like Mayo, Duke, etc are almost impossible to get an appointment.
Hopefully this site can allow not only common issues but also some pain relief ideas
I’ll sign off for now but I hope the best for all sufferers
