Trouble walking
I haven’t been diagnosed yet, but feet are numb and legs are weak and I’m walking like a penguin. My balance is off. Could this be neurothapy? Who can diagnose? Also have really bad lower back pain the am. ?

Hi Miss Daisy!
Don’t wait. Another trip to see her won’t change what is going on with you previously and to date. She’s probably been this way her entire career. Don’t worry about hurting her feelings if you cancel the appointment. She’s probably never even going to realize. Advocate for your health and protect yourself from doctors like her. You’re letting her control your quality of life. 😉
Thanks. Anybody taking HGH or peptides?
Ever since developing trigeminal neuralgia thru playing sax too much as an 81 yr old, I have learned thru Google that our nerves are coated with a protecting fat shield called MYELIN. Vitamin B12 makes myelin. All seniors get very little B12 because their diet has very little and stomach acid is 30 % lower. Acid released B12 from animal proteins.
Then there is the effect of alcohol. It's a poison of sorts. It causes millions of microscopic pours in our 20 ft long intestine internal wall to close, temporally. No wonder little B12 gets into circulation where it can replace missing myelin thought the whole body. The body needs at least 4.5 micrograms B12 daily. One steak only as 1.5 . Mussels have 9 times more than steak.
So try taking B12 supplement.
I have stopped red wine and take 20 micrograms B12 daily .
Back again. Mild neuropathy mild arthritis. My back hurts very bad in the AM. Over the past few days my legs can barely hold me up. I still think I have a pinched nerve but everyone said no!
