Hi, @rosey2 Do you have numbness in your feet? When we learn to walk as toddlers, we build a connection between the way our feet perceive the floor/ground beneath us and the brain. It's called proprioception. Since my feet are numbed due to the radiculopathy, I don't feel the ground or floor quite as well as before.... and this is what creates my imbalance. I can walk unassisted, but I do find myself holding onto things at times. It seems to be worse in enclosed spaces where I have to maneuver around furniture or doorways. If I'm out walking in a straight path, it is less bothersome, though it's still there. I've found NO ONE who can tell me for sure that the SCS has helped them with balance like I deal with. So I'm hesitant. Best wishes! Mike
