I have neuropathy in both feet and calves. It did not show up until I have had to have 3 back surgeries in less than 1 year. My feet feel like stones (no feeling) and having balance issues. I still want to play golf and enjoy this life. Anybody have any suggestions for me. I use laser light on legs and feet at present and a lot of B12 and ALA acid for B12 to absorb.

Welcome @shanegibbs, Sorry to hear your neuropathy started after your back surgeries. I know it's difficult when something interferes with what you enjoy doing. There is another discussion that you might take a look at to see if it might provide some relief for your symptoms.

--- Myofascial Release Therapy (MFR) for treating compression and pain: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/myofascial-release-therapy-mfr-for-treating-compression-and-pain/.

Another good site for learning what might help is the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy: https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/.

Have you looked into physical therapy or other treatments to see if it can help with the balance issues?
