I have neuropathy in my feet as a result of Chemo 20 years ago. The past year or so it has started to affect my balance. Not sure what to do ?

Hello @teray47, Welcome to Connect, an online community where patients and caregivers share their experiences, find support and exchange information with others. Sorry to hear you are starting to have balance problems. I also have to be careful after first standing up and taking the first few steps due to balance problems. You might find some suggestions in the following discussion:

-- Having trouble keeping your balance?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/having-trouble-keeping-your-balance/

Also, the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has some exercises and physical therapy on their website here - https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/lifestyle/exercise-and-physical-therapy/

Are you on any medications for your neuropathy or have you tried any alternative therapies?
