@helpwanted132 - I also share your experience and it is frustrating when you try to stand in one spot. I have both sensory and motor neuropathy. Sometimes to maintain balance, I also take small steps mostly backwards due to foot numbness and fewer times forward or find a wall for support or hold onto a chair, kitchen counter. My balance is better when I wear AFO's and I have been in balance therapy for about 2 - 3 months which is helping a little. Yes, at times a cane is necessary. Every doc will say don't fall which is enough to scare the heck out of us with PN. I said to my neuro doc OK, so what do you suggest I do? She sent me PT which is including balance exercises. I find PT tiring and I also do some exercises at home, but it helps. Wish you improvements going forward and keep walking as much as you can. Ed
