I have senosrimotor axonal neuropathy - it has affected my ability to walk, a lot. My doctors are not really sure how much longer I will be able to keep walking. Currently my steps are only a couple of inches long, and many of the muscles in my legs and my glutes are very weak now. Also, I am very numb in the same areas. my first symptoms were foot drops and numbness. Mine is caused by my lupus.
