Hi there,
I was diagnosed with neuropathy in my feet a few years ago. I started to notice a slight limp several years ago. I passed it off to an broken leg in my 20's from a car accident that was finally catching up to me. I just turned 59. I just went through colon cancer and surgery in 2015 and every turned out just fine. I have been taking medicine for epilepsy since I was 16. My neurologist set me up to have some tests done. I had a nerve conduction test done where they hook probes up to your feet and legs and run electric impulses to a machine to get readings. Well, they could not find out the cause of my problem. So, my feet started to get worse. I would have to pick up my feet or my toes would hit the floor. But, I didn't have the burning that a lot of people complain about. Mine tingled. I did some research and found that B12 may help and that took away the tingling. I ended up getting fitted with plastic braces that I step into and that wrap around my ankles. My balance is not that great, but it is a hell of a lot better than it was before. The braces support the foot and slip inside the shoe and are never seen! Wishing you the best of luck!
