My neuropathy has been progressive - started as intense burning pain, which fortunately over time has turned to numbness, but I also developed motor neuropathy which effects mostly my legs. I also have damage to the nerves coming out of my spine in my lower back which effects my posture markedly - I can no longer stand up straight else I fall over backwards imediately. I also have to walk with very bent knees to get my centre of gravity low enough. I walk/ ride with a variety of aids (crutches, wheelchair, mobility scooter, depends on the circumstances).

I know my case isn't typical, but it has been pretty severe. Oh, I also have a couple of foot drops which I wear splints for.

cheers
