Dearest Neurotalk friends,

I have progressing atrophy of my legs, and my ankles are turning in and my knees are knocking.

Has this happened to any of you? Should I try wearing some sort of braces to stop this?

I have also begun to resort to a walker when I am out and will have a long walk to the doctor's office or whatever.

I am feeling a bit desperate a this condition (Idiopathic PN, and Small Fiber Neuropathy) is changing my life now.

My knees are also hurting and I wonder if having my knee replacement will help at all with my walking?

As you can tell I am feeling discouraged.

I also recently read an article about the atrophy of the brain as a result of the loss of stimulation from nerves in the feet and legs.

What? Please let me get no worse.

Hugs, ElaineD
