  • difficulty walking on uneven ground
  • frequently catching your toes
  • needing to hold onto furniture

Balance problems can also come from inner-ear disorders, medications, vision problems, muscle weakness, or neurological conditions.

7. Increased Sensitivity to Touch

Nerve changes do not always reduce sensation.

Sometimes they make normal sensations feel unusually painful.

A person may find that:

  • bedsheets touching the feet hurt
  • socks feel uncomfortable
  • light touch causes burning
  • minor pressure feels painful

This exaggerated response to touch can occur with neuropathic pain.
