Can neuropathy in my feet cause balance problems?

I have got my pain and spasms under control- I am allergic to every pain medicine my pain doctor has put me on. Now I am using medical marijuana gummies cut in half at 7:00 am, 1:00 pm and 7:00 pm. I use the 100 mg. but cut them in half. Like usual it is not something insurance will pay for, but now I can go to grandkids events without being in so much pain. I still have dizziness if I turn to fast. I have to be very careful of that. My left side foot and leg are really numb so I have to be extremely careful about falls.

As with you, I am not able to take prescribed pain meds of any kind; horrible hallucinations, night terrors, out-of-body feeling, almost passed out from one in particular, but in general my body just reacts horribly. Zombie-world is not what I choose to live in.

QUESTION about the MM: When speaking with their pharmacist (via phone), I was informed that I'd have to take the dosage that she recommended on a DAILY BASIS. I was very turned off by that, as I thought I'd be able to choose when it would be most indicated by my level of pain. It was an Uh-uh for me. So that was shelved. As much as I don't want to live with complex pain, I also do not want to have MM in my system 24/7.
MY QUESTION IS: Were you prescribed that dosage of 100mg by a certified MM dispensary pharmacist?
If not, how/where do you obtain your product?
We have about 4 privately-owned dispensaries in the county wherein we reside, and they carry ALL forms/types, etc. They advertise as "we are your neighborhood dispensary of top-grade, certified medical marijuana." But not one of them is on the State Approved list of dispensaries that have pharmacists with which one MUST have an "interview" in order to then have DELIVERED or picked-up, whatever form of MM is preferred by the customer. And there is a minimum quantity for each order. ALL are quite a drive from where we live, so IF I were to want the MM, they would send it via a driver to our home, and ONLY CASH is accepted form of payment. It all made me so uncomfortable, and my inner-sensor said not to do this. So I listened to the "red flags" that waved at me.

I'd appreciate hearing any info you might feel comfortable to share regarding my question.

Gracias🌺.
