do exercises-stand and sit 5 times-put yourself aginst a wall and go on your tippy toes 20 times in a row -do these 2 exercises at 9 am and 1 pm and 5 pm everyday for the rest of your life and hope for the best like I do-Mike

Mike, your suggestion is excellent. Unfortunately, due to neuropathy, I developed drop foot and can't stand on my toes. I do the stand and sit exercises and as difficult as it is, I do it. I also find starting with a pad on the seat helps in early stages of the exercise.

My PT had me do the same thing with one difference. You MUST have two people that can catch you right there with you, but practice doing the same thing with your eyes closed. At first, you will immediately fall over, but keep at it, removing vision challenges your vision twice as hard and really improves it faster.
