Hello, I am 74 and was told my neuropathy was radiating from my back. Test show stenosis, scoliosis and spondylitis. I’ve had progressive deterioration for yrs. I can deal with the numbness, pins and needles but the imbalance is terrible. I do use a cane for any distance walking. I too, use toe spacers and wear zero drop, barefoot shoes. Before, I wore Hokas but any shoe with cushioning makes me more imbalanced. I feel like I’m falling off of them. This whole thing is quite the challenge. Best wishes to all.

I have been told the same, but I only have sporadic back pain, do you have back pain? My balance is ok at the moment but it’s scary thinking what the next ten years will bring I’m only 65.
