Hi @blocker, Welcome to Connect. I'm sorry for your pain. Neuropathy can be a rough journey. I'm hoping the joining the discussion here on Connect and learning as much as you can about your condition will help you find some answers that will help your pain and give you some relief. I have idiopathic small fiber peripheral neuropathy but I only have the numbness with my PN. I've posted my story and what helps me earlier on Connect here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/anyone-here-dealing-with-peripheral-neuropathy/?pg=42#comment-65985

I do think some forms of mild exercise may help with the balance issues. The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has some information that may be helpful on their site here:

Is your peripheral neuropathy mostly in your feet and/or legs? @artscaping and other members may be able to share what helps them also.

Yes, so far its just my legs and feet. Because of the balance issues I struggle to be very active but I recently started a diet and have lost 14 pounds in the hopes that by carrying a bit less weight I can be more active. Thanks for the information, I will definitely check it out!
