Thanks for using the forum. I am happy to address your questions, and my answer will be based on the information you provided here. Please make sure you recognize that this forum is for educational purposes only, and it does not substitute for a formal office visit with a doctor.

Without the ability to examine and obtain a history, I can not tell you what the exact cause of the symptoms is. However I will try to provide you with some useful information.

Stem-cell replacement therapy is a potential future treatment for neuropathies, but is still under active investigation, and is still a fairly new field of medicine.  The way they work is that they help rebuild the affected neural tissue with new neurons.  Unfortunately, no one is doing it yet on a consistent basis yet and it is still considered an experimental procedure with also ethical implications.  While there are a few case studies of possible improvement, we may still have to wait until it is actually approved by the FDA.

What can I do now? Is there any treatment for illness? I found this is an axonal degeneration. Is there anything we can do?
