You certainly face challenges but I detect positivity in you. I am dealing with nerve pain caused by an unnecessary shin shave biopsy (unnecessary because lesion was not cancer). Yet, here I am six months after the procedure and several doctors visits as well and I still have pain in my leg. I have celiac disease and neuropathy so my pain is amplified. I want to be active and do exercises but doing that may impede my healing process. I was encouraged as a few days ago I even wrote in my daily log book that my leg was feeling better. From what I have read there are so many variables that can affect nerves--and they are ever so slow to heal. I want to suggest doing balance exercises. They make help prevent falls. I know several of my friends--my age 73 and some older folk who have fallen and now have pain from that. Another guy fell and now may have damaged his inner ear and has dizziness too. I do admire your courage and empathetic tone.

@arcuri24 thank you.

My balance issues, and more are caused by a neurological disorder. Functional Neurological Disorder or FND. My brain and body are not getting their signals straight.
My life has made a wrong turn. I wish it wasn’t so, but here I am learning new things everyday, new hobbies etc. God is leading me through this journey for a reason.
