I want to thank everyone who replied to my post . This is a frightening time for me . I have learned a lot by reading the replies . Again thanks to all . This sight has given me some solace .
I have seen a couple of doctors . Not one of them suggested seeing a neurologist. Just increased my gabapentin or sent me to a pain dr . I will be looking for a neurologist to see what he says . Many thanks .

yojimbob- It is important to remember, you might not know of anyone else that has this but, as you can see from the various postings, you are not alone. The internet can provide information relating to supports that will help with the issue of tripping forward. That is what I did after tripping twice. Have not tripped in several years. Need to find out what will work best for your condition. Wish you the best!

Check out Cionic. They have a device that has been in a trial for drop foot. On their site you answer questions about your problem. They evaluate you and tell you if you are presently a candidate for their neural leg braces. My chemo induced neuropathy is not presently being treated by the system but I don’t have drop foot. I would do this in a second as drugs do nothing for my pain. Nothing ventured, nothing gained .
