Imbalance

Your answer suggests that nerve disease (neuropathy) could be the cause of your poor balance. For example, people with diabetes may develop neuropathy as a complication, and that can affect balance. Other conditions affecting nerves include neck arthritis, vitamin B12 deficiency, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, also called Lou Gehrig's disease), inherited conditions, and multiple sclerosis.

Make sure to tell your doctor all of your symptoms so that you can be properly evaluated and treated.
