I got more feedback from my podiatrist than I did with the neurologist. I saw each doctor twice. I too have no complaint about pain. Balance is the problem, feet just don’t feel like I have contact with any surface. I have been told, by both, it is peripheral neuropathy and I can hope it doesn’t get worse. How am I dealing with it? I asked for physical therapy. It is a necessity. My primary is now listening closer and she insists on an EMG and an X-ray of the lumbar spine, on the small chance it may be related to past back pain.
What I’ve learned on this forum, is pain may be something that doctors can treat. Numbness and poor balance is something you adjust to via physical therapy, shoes that work for you, and possibly walking aids. Shoes are very individual. I use a walker at home and a cane when I go out.
I’ve seen many ads for oral supplements and lotions. I’ve considered the magnesium lotions. At present I take magnesium glycinate 200 mg capsules. The two supplements most suggested are Vitamin B12 methylcobalamin and R-Alpha Lipoic Acid, which I have been on since February.
Good luck.
