John- do you have any links to neuropathy and balance issue? My balance is “off”, if I pay close attention to foot placement and go slow, I can enjoy a daily walk (two times around the block). I took a hard fall two days ago- I think I caught a toe on a sidewalk square edge, no warning, suddenly finding myself crashing to the ground, hit my head, shoulder, knee hard, off to the ER, no broken bones, no concussion signs, but ordered to follow concussion protocol for three days.
Some members of my family are insisting I stop walking, but I can’t face that. I’m thinking a cane won’t help as the loss of balance comes so suddenly that foot catches something. Any ideas?
Thank you for all the great information! I will check out those links. I have tingling and pain. This afternoon I took the dog for a brisk 2-mile walk, and afterward felt very tired and weak in my legs. I'm really worried about ending up disabled.
