Hi, Rich. Glad you posted to the group. Is your PN a result of diabetes? chemo? idiopathic/cause unknown? Is it just in your feet/legs? Also in hands? What doctors have you seen and what have they had you try to help? Is surgery an option that might improve your situation if based on stenosis/compression of nerves? So sorry to hear the big D has a hold on you. Certainly understandable with this disorder and its limitations! Hope you will find sharing with kindred spirits here in Connect will be of help!! Best wishes! Mike

Cause unknown. Feet and legs. Not in hands. I have Kaiser Insurance. Been to primary care doc. and a couple of neuroligists. Nobody has mentioned surgery.
The last neurologist told me it is going to get worse and there is nothing she can do for me. So I haven't been out of my house for about 1 1/2 years except to see a doc. My wife travels and I am here alone for a few days at a time. Really sucks.
If the Doc is right I am headed foe a LTC facility soon. Luckily I have LTC Insurance.
