I was a manager at Verizon Wireless store..so I was on my feet all day. In the stores chairs are not allowed and it has been a big issue with people.
My neuropathy worsened over the years until 8/08 where I lost total sensation in my feet and now the neuropathy has travelled to my legs and right arm causing weakness as well. My neurologist and kidney doctor are writing letters and filling out forms. The answers to one form my neurologist filled out are listed below.

I have a copy of the form
(Medical Source Statement of Ability to do work related activities (physical)
Lifting = up to 10 lbs occasionally up to 1/3
Carrying = up to 10 lbs never

At one Time
Sitting =less than 15 mins.
standing= less than 15 mins
walking= less than 5 mins

Total in 8 hour day
sit = 1 hour
stand less than 15 mins
walk less than 15 mins

Use of hands
right hand
reaching overhead =1/3 occasionally
reaching all other= 1/3 occasionally
handling = 1/3 ocassionally
fingering= 1/3 ocassionally
feeling= 1/3 ocassionally
push/pull= 1/3 occassionally

Use of hands
left hand
reaching overhead =1/3 occasionally
reaching all other= 1/3 occasionally
handling = 1/3 ocassionally
fingering= 1/3 ocassionally
feeling= 1/3 ocassionally
push/pull= 1/3 occassionally

Use of feet
operation of foot controls = never

Postural Activities

climb laddders or scaffolds=never
balance=never

I left off the remainder categories which answer were either never or 1/3 occasionally.

thanks
