Neuropathy and feet feeling heavy.

@tessie63 I have the same. I have bilateral drop foot due to PN and yes, my feet feel very heavy all the time. Your feet may feel cool all the time as well. I see you live in Canada. Can a doctor assist you with any assistance in the way of AFO's. I wear them and it really helps with the drop foot and provides improved balance. Without them on, I normally need a cane and with the AFO's on, no cane needed. For me, big difference. Ed

NJ Ed Thank you for your reply. It’s nice to know I’m not alone with the heavy feet problem. Yes, I have been wearing the AFOs since my run in with cancer. I can’t walk without them. I am unable to stand or walk alone without my walker. Chemo did not only affect my hands and feet but also my back. My doctor thinks some of the nerves in my back were probably affected there. I never want to go through surgery again so I have been putting off getting my spinal column and neck checked out. I am finally going to a doctor to see about getting that done now. If surgery is required I would not do that again but just knowing what is causing my problems will make me feel better. Just maybe there is a solution without the surgery. Thanks again for answering my email and making me feel not so alone in fighting this illness. Hugs
