Can neuropathy in my feet cause balance problems?

Posted by oliver4 @oliver4, Dec 15, 2022

Podiatrist has diagnosed me with minor neuropathy but my balance is worsening. Can neuropathy cause this. I know that input from the feet can cause balance problems

How did the podiatrist diagnose you? Normally you have to have a nerve conduction test or skin punch biopsy to diagnose neuropathy. Balance problems can be caused by different conditions and I suppose some can occur quicker than others.

Have you discussed the symptoms with your doctor?

He used the “pin prick”. It was suggested that I have further tests but there no follow up
