@jrob - Sorry to hear about your issue. I've had PN all numbness with poor balance for about 5 years and yes, uneven surfaces are difficult to manage so a suggestion would be to use of a cane. This can help you along and might prevent a fall. I went to an outdoor event this summer, 3 steps to huge deck and no railings. I didn't even attempt it. I need railing(s) to go up and down steps. Do what you need to in order to stay safe. I think with PN, numbness and balance issues with wobbly legs are all part of it. Some of us experience the same as you and we are not running off to see a psychiatrist. Take care! Ed
