Is loss of balance your primary complaint with neuropathy?

My neurologist has sent me to physical therapy to improve my balance. PT is helping me strengthen my legs, hips and knees in hopes it will improve my balance. I’ve been going for a few weeks and can’t say I see a real difference but I believe exercising and trying to maintain my muscle strength will be a part of my daily life going forward.

@kssharp For me, physical therapy was a game changer. I had to ask for it. And, after I had improvement in movement and a boost in my confidence, I let my neurologist know that PT should be recommended for all neuropathy patients. I do not have pain, but PT is necessary to learn to trust your ‘new numb feet’. I still wear my Hoka’s and walk regularly. Trust the process. Good luck.
