Hello @nor5501, Welcome to Connect. Sorry to hear you are having loss of balance problems. I'm sure the exercise is helpful to keep your leg and ankle strength up. Depending on the cause of your balance problems there may be a medication that helps. Mayo Clinic has some information on diagnosis and treatment here - https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/balance-problems/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20350477.

Have you seen a doctor about the problem you are having with your balance and foot drop?

@johnbishop
I am seeing a rheumatologist for my GCA/PMR.
Currently on Actemra injrction.
The most frustrating is the loss of balance. The fear of falling can be overwhelming.
