Hi Jake @jakedduck1, I still have balance issues but I normally can compensate by taking some precautions. The biggest help for me is when I first get up out of a chair and stand up or when I've been standing for awhile and start walking, I take the first few steps slower than normal (hey, some might call this ambling 🙂). I'm especially cautious in the Winter time and am pretty adept at doing the senior shuffle. I think daily exercise helps a lot but walking is not one I can do a lot of due to my lower back.
I'm not familiar with Combination Electroanalgesia Therapy (CET) but I think it is similar to the Scrambler Therapy and there is a discussion about it where others might be able to answer any questions or share their experience - Has anyone tried Scrambler Therapy for neuropathy or for pain?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/calmare-scrambler-therapy-anyone/
