One of the symptoms I noticed before my diagnosis is that one day I felt like I had no control over my legs and I could not run. I can still cycle and walk OK. I am going to try running on the treadmill and see if I can find a pace that is comfortable.
I feel like my balance is off but I don't know if that is the PN or the meds.
I can still run, but after 3 knee surgeries(1 acl and 2 meniscus) I'm pretty much bone on bone. My options are total knee replacements or the non traditional stem cell injections which re-grow cartilage. I have not made a decision yet on which way to go and my knees are not toast...yet. I have a buddy that just completed the stem injections in his knees and neck....and is doing very well, so it looks promising.

As far as balance, I find myself occasionally crashing into things or tripping for no apparent reason, almost like I am drunk(not drinking at the time). I have to wonder if it is age, or PN...I dunno?
