For nearly a year, I have had balance problems. I am not dizzy, lightheaded, etc. I seldom feel normal walking around. I have some leg pain and knee pain and periodically feel like I am falling forward. The forward imbalance speeds up in an uncontrollable way until you can grab hold of something but it usually progresses to a fall.
Now, just recently, I have experienced and become aware of some numbness in both foot bottoms, maybe more in the right foot than left. Could this be Peripheral Neuropathy?
I have low red blood count, low hemoglobin and hematocrit.
Could this be Diabetic Neuropathy?
I am trying to get blood sugar tests, etc.
I had a Brain MRI; all is good. I may have some arthritis in my knees.
I am afraid that at 76, I am going to fall, break my hip and wind up in a nursing home.
I have had colon cancer resection, (w/o chemo).
I have had prostate cancer and radiation with ADT-Orgovyx for two years.
I have had hyperthyroidism and good blood results -T3, T4, TSH after long term Methimazole.
I get chest and abdomen CT Scans, and blood tests including PSA and CEA every 4 months.
Any ideas?
I have had way too many problems all in the past 4 years. I have no support people.
Thank you,
Worried About Falling
