Hi...
I am also new here and I too suffer from Neruopathy. I do not have tremors but have had a balance problem and had to start using a cain full time about the first of the year after falling in the street and cracking a rib. This was the second rib I had cracked due to a fall. I had several falls, just did not always crack ribs.
I also have savage foot and leg pain from my knees down and had to use crutches when my foot pain was over the top. It felt like I was walking on sharp stones bare foot.
I had a spinal coard implant to relieve my savage pain. It has been a God sent to me. It relieved my leg pain 100% and my savage foot pain by 60%. My balance is improving daily and I do not have to use the cain as much as I did. I do carry it when I go out for safety sake coz I have a knee that goes out on me and when it does I can't put weight on it.
I wish I could be more help to you. Neuropathy does weaken your legs. It has put a lot of people in wheel chairs. I was very close to being in a wheel chair until i had the "stimulator" implant.
Best of luck to you.
Sending you a hug.....hugssssssssss
