@janeiswelsh5499 Hi - AFO stands for ankle foot orthotic. I have drop foot due to numbness and the AFO keeps my foot, lower leg and ankle almost at a 90-degree angle eliminating the slapping of the foot on the floor when walking providing a more natural walk.

I just watched a L-O-N-G video about a supplement called BackBiome. It’s supposed to be an OTC alternative medicine for Gabapentin.
I’ve been on Gabapentin for years with no relief from tingling and numbness, my main complaint. Thankfully, I don’t have much pain - just this awful numbness with severe imbalance. I’ve always been active, but now I’m in a wheelchair, strictly due to the numbness and lack of balance.
As you might have guessed, BackBiome is a bit pricey but if it’d help me get out of this wheelchair, it’d be worth every penny.
Your responses would be welcomed!
