Can neuropathy in my feet cause balance problems?

I have been to physical therapist numerous times. Not a fan. I will get a lot of flack on this but my feeling on this is your doctor has no idea what is causing your balance so his stock answer is physical therapy.

No Flack from me, I go to a physical therepist for exercises to keep my belly under control - but as far as my balance it is a mystery. I have fallen too many times and if I stand still I sway - but no one seems to be able to help. I truely believe each of must just do the best we can - now I will get the flack. Most of the doctors I have gone to have no idea what is going on. I am losing faith in modern medicine. I do what I can by myself and take my carbidopa/levodopa and lots of vitamins and natural stuff.

oliver4 - I can't disagree with you about the PT. I too have been in and out of PT for about 6 years. Now, I'm in PT again for balance therapy. My Medicare policy will pay for so many visits a year due to dollar limits. If you don't spread out the appointments, you run out before end of year. I think the standard procedure in medical field is to prescribe PT with us having PN. They feel it's doing something. I don't know yet, been only 5 weeks.
