Although reversing nerve damage is difficult, you can still live a high quality of life. Your healthcare provider may prescribe medications to keep pain at bay.
Lifestyle adjustments can be effective, such as:
- Using a cane to help you move easier.
- Wearing special shoes to try to protect feet from injuries and skin breakdown.
- Getting help from a wound clinic to treat and heal foot and leg wounds.
- Removing throw rugs and other tripping hazards to prevent falls.
