Anyone lost the ability to walk due to peripheral neuropathy?

Has anyone in the group lost the ability to walk from peripheral neuropathy in both lower legs? If so were you able to regain the ability to walk and if so how did you do that?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuropathy Support Group.

I agree. I believe the answer to better balance is stronger legs, but my ability to build stronger legs is limited if not made downright impossible by my problematic knees, my left knee especially, which is rife with arthritis.

Hi, @thomasmichael. My right knee is a TKR. I was given it over 20 years ago and have it checked not that long ago to ensure that it's still in good shape. The aches in my left knee (my "birth" knee) is arthritis, pure and simple. When my right knee aches, it's not because it's my Tin Man Knee but because of strains on all the surrounding soft tissue.

Cheers!
