You are very fortunate. Like you I ran for years. I was able to ride for a while, but now my balance issues keep me from riding. I can only do a stationary bike. And walking is painful.

Welcome @wburgb1ll, It's great to see that you have connected with @ray666 to share your experiences. As another member of the neuropathy club I thought I would let you know of a webinar next week on March 20th on alternative therapies that enhance balance by the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy - more details and registration link to sign up (free) are in another discussion here - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/1032303/.

Hi, @wburgbill. You echo my experiences to a tee! Quitting running was hard, but cycling, city paths and mountain trails, was fun –– for a while! Then, balance "issues" gradually made cycling UN-fun; outdoor cycling, anyway. I switched to walling: long in-city walking and hi-country hiking –– until it, too, became UN-fun. (I still walk –– shopping trips, mostly, and, of course, those doctor visits!). So, me, too: I'm relegated to stationary bike riding in the rather uninspiring surround of my spare bedroom –– a far cry from running, cycling, or hiking at timberline! 🙂 –Ray (@ray666)
