Has any one had this? Slippery sensation on 4 fatty parts under feet

Welcome @harrymyboy2468, The balance issues you describe are pretty common for a lot of us with neuropathy. I don't have any pain but do have numbness and some tingling in the feet and it bothers me to wear shoes that are too cushy. I do try to exercise including some balance exercises frequently to help with my balance problems and keep my legs stronger. Have you been diagnosed with a specific type of neuropathy like diabetic neuropathy? Have you tried using any walking aids?

Hello John,
Thanks for your kind reply. Im 74 yrs old, definately no diabetics. My legs have been affected by neuropathy for 25 and 30 years. (RHS 30 years) My legs are not strong. Your note about balance and strength exercise is of interest. More info on this please. Also on walking aids please. I am scared of a walking stick incase I trip on it. Regards,H

Hello H @harrymyboy2468, Mayo Clinic has some easy to do balance exercises for us seniors that I think are helpful - https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/fitness/in-depth/balance-exercises/art-20546836. The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy also has some great information on balance and other exercises - https://www.foundationforpn.org/lifestyles/exercise-physical-therapy/.

I've found that a pair of trekking poles are helpful when walking outside. Here's a discussion you might find helpful - Walking poles for balance and workout: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/walking-poles-for-balance-snd-workout/

Hello,
Have you by any chance seen an experienced and knowledgeable neurologist for diagnosis? There are different types of neuropathy and they can have very differing symptoms. A diagnosis is very important and may take some time to be pinpointed speaking from experience. There are many tests to be done to pinpoint the condition. In may case, I was just diagnosed with large fiber peripheral neuropathy along with cervical and lumbar radiculopathy a year after initial onset. I really suggest looking for a good neurologist. The Mayo Clinic will be a good resource.
Wishing you the best.

I have numbness in both feet due to idiopathic neuropathy or Radiculopathy coming from my spine, occasionally I have this wet slippery feeling too, it comes and goes. I think it’s just a sensation caused by nerve damage.

@harrymyboy2468 - I have both sensory and motor PN no cause, lots of numbness, poor balance and no pain. I have many of the same sensations as you. I'm unable to walk on a wood deck that could be wet from rain without my brain saying it is slippery and going to slip and fall. I guess a protective device. John has some great suggestions and links, and I do try to exercise when my knee will permit. I found small night lights are helpful. I think doctors have an obligation to tell us not to fall, even though that is obvious. Take precautions is the bottom line and I recently purchased a fall monitor (looks like a watch) that detects a fall or even fast unusual motion. The monthly fee is low and provides a feeling of security.
