Sure can! Some of it may come from the inability to feel our feet and/or know exactly where they
are anymore (aside from still being at the ends of our legs, and I've sometimes had doubts about that). Some of the tests they do in the neurological workup have to do with balance, gait, etc.—very similar (i.e. identical) to sobriety tests (touching nose with eyes closed, walking along a tape line, etc.) Last time I did that one I fell over.
I was considering getting/using a cane when my back went south; getting PN clinched it—balance shot to proverbial smitherinees.
