Welcome @cindydom4865, Sorry to hear your balance symptoms came on so suddenly. My neuropathy and old age (82) contribute to my poor balance but I think the neuropathy probably more so. I have had some physical therapy to work on improving my balance but it's a daily struggle for me. I recently fell after stumbling in the kitchen and my glasses put a nice gash on the side of my forehead that bleed profusely. I also had to go to the ER to have a CT scan and MRI to make sure that I didn't have any internal head injury. I was able to go back home but it sounds like they want to make sure you are safe by sending you to a nursing home for rehabilitation while you recover.
Have you talked to the doctors about the pins and needles and other symptoms you are having?
