How do you manage neuropathy and loss of balance and walking ability?

I use a cane also and plan walking route

I use a cane when i don't have a grocery cart to push. I recently went out on a fun day with my son and his girlfriend and when we got there I realzed I'd forgotten my cane. He went to a resale store down the street and bought one for me.

Hi raebaby this chronic stuff with my back -feet balance is the biggest crisis in my life . Up until 5 years ago I was active, alive, could walk for miles! I swam for 2 hours a day during the warm months--but here in pooler Georgia there are no indoor pools as when I lived in s. Florida. Recently when I turned 70 I am now doing everything I can to be somewhat. active !! How are you coping with all this --I am a semi retired psychologist. Thank god for that!

I’m using a motorized wheelchair when I go out to the store now. But I also have ME/CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) in addition to polyneuropathy.
Around the house I’m extra careful walking. No sudden turns, walking slowly, etc. plus I’ve installed grab bars in the bathroom and elsewhere.

Recently I stopped wearing shoes indoors because I’m constantly catching the bottoms in the floor and tripping. Now I wear a double pair of soft socks (my feet are freezing). This has helped a lot with balance.
