Yes you can. I'm walking with a cane now. My legs on down to my feet is very sensitive. I have pain in my knees down to my feet, lots of pain, if I stay on my feet
long or stand long my feet and legs will give out on me. My balance is off when I stand.

RafaPeripheral neuropathy can cause weakness and loss of sensation in the limbs, which may impact mobility and balance. In severe cases, this could result in difficulty walking or using the affected limbs, but it does not usually lead to complete paralysis or being "crippled" in the traditional sense of the word. Physical therapy and medical management can help to improve symptoms and prevent further complications.
