I only have numbness, no pain. I wear barefoot shoes inside and outside and find they help quite a bit. I also practice standing on one foot while I am waiting for my coffee to brew in the morning and take yoga classes 2-3 times a week (which also include balancing poses). Having said that, have you been checked for inner ear issues?

My feet are numb. My left foot doesn’t know what kind of surface I am standing on.
Truly wish it was the ear.
I am a retired nurse. I have moved on to acceptance and doing all I can to maintain what feeling I have in my feet, and keeping my legs strong. I am taking supplements that may not help, but will not hurt. The prescription med offered is of no use for numbness.
Thank you for your suggestions. At some point, soon I hope, I’ll return to the senior center and look at the classes offered. They have a great program. And, a couple of machines in their gym can help with knee and leg strength.
