Hello @johns92118, Sorry to hear you haven't found anything to provide relief from your symptoms. @tymish17 mentioned neuropathy and hydrocephalus in another discussion here and may have some suggestions - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/anyone-with-peripheral-neuropathy-evaluated-for-n-t-hydrocephalus/.
I pretty much shuffle when I walk all the time and have some difficulty walking any distance more than a few hundred feet. What helps me is to exercise daily and just keep moving. The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has a good list of complementary and alternative therapies if you haven't seen them and would like more information - https://www.foundationforpn.org/therapies/.
