Steeldove, Thanks for sharing your experience. I had physical therapy the other day and asked my PT if he had treated other patients that have a loss of wareness where they stand. He said many patients with PN come in the clinic feeling the same way. Its a very akward feeling that I'm trying to adjust to every day. The more I'm outside in a wider open space the more I get this feeling. When I'm working in a smaller closed space like in my kitchen or living room the less I feel this way. Keep Plugging on!

@lweave2 I think that we're more comfortable in smaller spaces indoors because we know exactly what's underfoot. OutdoorsI always use a cane and I'm very careful to watch exactly where I'm placing my foot with each step. Do you find the strange sensations particularly strong when you move your legs off the bed and onto the floor? I do, and suspect it's because of the dramatic change from being horizontal to becoming vertical. I'm 82 (sliding towards 83!) and have Kempf digital hand controls on my car because I lost feeling in my feet and my legs, and twice this year I drove from Springfield, MO, to Mayo in MN.,

Hi. Rereading your post history, this started for you with Morton's Neuroma followed by surgery to remove the nerve causing that which then led to neuropathy, correct? You were prescribed baclofen as treatment. Did that help and are you still taking it? How is your pain level now? Best, Hank
