I don't know how to manage balance issues other than constantly reaching for something to hold on to, i.e.
point of balance...If there is nothing to touch that is stable, I put both hands out above my waist and keep
myself steady, like some kind of bird making a more direct path for myself. Otherwise I tend to veer to
either the Right or the Left, depending on where the pain is on any given day.
I sometimes stop dead in my tracks on the street to get myself stabilized, it works, but the students
who are always in a rush have learned to walk around me. Noone has knocked me down YET.
I find that when there is no pain, I can walk faster and then the balance becomes less of an issue.
Standing in one position is asking for a fall. I have to keep in motion.
Has anyone had similar balance issues?
I continually ask my doctor for help, but he sends me to Neurologists and specialists, none of whom have
offered anything but drugs like Gabapentin which I wasted $100.00 buying when my insurance did not cover it.
That should have been an immediate Red Flag!
