Ray, sorry I wasn't clear on something. The now slowly improving had to do with the fact that I've been dealing with post covid issues and my balance, for some weird reason, was really off when the covid was at its peak and I had to use the cane all the time. Now that the covid issues are slowing subsiding, the balance is slowly improving. In short, at least my balance is returning to where it was prior to Covid when I did use a cane about 2/3 of the time. Again, I think your confidence will improve with use of a cane and I did google how to properly use one. Ed

Hi, Ed
That was my misreading of what should have been painfully obvious: round-the-clock cane use, by itself, is not going to help someone’s overall balance––like putting faith in Mary Poppins singing, “A spoonful of sugar’ll make all your PN symptoms go away!” 🙂
My misreading did at least get me to be less shy about toting a cane and to wield it proudly. That, in itself, I consider a positive.
And it did prompt me to ask my neuro doc’s NP, when I saw her yesterday, if maybe a not-too-$$$ session with a PN-experienced PT might give me some much-needed corrective gait coaching.
