I would like to suggest that you get tested for B12 deficiency and if you are below 400pg/ml--- get that result in numbers--- to
begin B12 supplementation ASAP. Neuropathy that spreads to legs can be due to combined degeneration of the spinal cord, which is a serious life threatening form of low B12.

Since you have one opinion of "neuropathy" this should be looked at before you become permanently disabled.

Also get Vit D tested... low D impacts chronic pain in many patients with chronic pain. Sometimes just fixing this, leads to relief. (we have had PN patients here on our board who discovered this result).

This long video explains more:

It is very sobering!
