@njed You and I have twin symptoms..... poor balance, no pain. I just ordered some of this balm.... and will see if it makes any difference with tingling and numbness for me. My PT keeps telling me that the balance issue is from proprioception that has been "lost" because of the compression on the nerves.... but, he says it can be re-learned. It's how babies learn to crawl.... and then crawlers learn to walk.... they stumble, they fall, but they continue to get up and try... and eventually the brain develops the connection between it and those movements that provide balance. I plan to keep getting up and walking and moving as much as I can... and hope that my brain may eventually reestablish those patters of proprioception to give me more of a sense of balance. Fingers crossed!!! Mike
