Ray, I totally agree with your comment about the pain. I've been told that with my PN, there is no medication to reduce symptoms. In the past, my primary offered to ship me off to PT but then I run across the scenario that if I don't improve in PT, the insurance will not pay. Ok Ed, you need to stand on one foot with eyes closed for 6 seconds. Really, I can't stand on 2 feet with eyes closed for 6 seconds. Yes, frustrating.

Ed – Same here. I, too, have been shipped off to PT more times than I care to remember, with the results always the same: "Your balance issues, Ray? Your numbness? They come with being 79. So, let's try the sit-to-stand again, shall we?" Mention PN, and nine-times-out-of-ten, I draw a blank from the therapist. I can be darn frustrating. – Ray

Either can I and do I really need to walk backwards?
I can’t even walk forwards!
