I am fortunate that I don’t have a lot of pain. I do have some pain in my left ankle and heal at night when I am in bed. My podiatrist prescribed gabapentin for me, and I was not able to tolerate that at all. Made me feel out of it and also dizzy. I will be starting physical therapy next week for help with balancing exercises and also dry needling. Any suggestions?

Welcome @1952healthyneuro, Hoping you get lots of good information from your physical therapist next week that's tailored to your specific needs. The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has a lot of great information including these two that I found this morning:
-- Tailored workouts or PT sessions may help:

-- Brain-Based Balance Exercises:

Have you had any injuries to the left ankle?
