Can neuropathy in my feet cause balance problems?

I have idiopathic neuropathy. For years by feet have had tingling and burning sensations, but no numbness, I could, and still can, feel floors/ground underneath me. But lately it seems to have moved into my ankles which makes them feel sort of weak. This weak feeling has affected my balance - its more tenuous. Anyone else have this and did you find any functional resolutions? I have tried wearing ankle braces and they sort of help but at night my ankles are more fired up which can affect my ability to get to sleep? Any ideas out there? And thanks in advance.

Applying Suave lotion with Aloe and Cucumber extract sold by grocery stores from their shelf, helps my burning and at times twitching sensation in feet and ankles. Apply the lotion generously, wrap in loose towel; no socks and sleep well.
