yes, Medicare will pay for it but unfortunately for me I belong to quite possibly one of the worst HMOs around..Kaiser. I call it "medicine light". I wanted physical therapy because I know from prior experience what benefits there can be. But Kaiser (except for things like a knee replacement) will only allow me to see a PT ONE time where they do exercises then at the end instead of a return appt I get handouts so I can do them at home. Does not matter their hand outs are hieroglyphics or that I have no place to do these exercises, even if I could remember them. My balance became very dangerous within a short period of time. My PC doc told me mostly it was due to my age (just turned 70 beg of august 2023) and to stop taking the gabapentin. It has gotten slightly better since stopping the gabapentin. Unfortunately, the neuropathy in my ankles/feet is sometimes nearly unbearable. I can only dream of the glorious help physical therapy could be.

I hear you bobweller. My PT person keeps wring me up as strength improvement because the nerves aren't going anywhere, as you well know. God bless you with strength and patience bob. brotherchuckles80-
