How Can Body Imbalance Be Treated?

I am an 87 yr old white male with stage 4 prostate cancer who has received radiation treatments successfully. My biggest and current problem which no one seems to know any answer to, is that I have chronic instability, to the point I have fallen 5 times (without fractures fortunately) and am now in Physical Therapy to try to pin point the problem or get medication. The therapists seem to feel its not my brain, or feet, but most probably inner ear ( I am much worse with eyes closed than open). I have my first apt. with a neurologist on 2/27 but she was educated in Haiti in 1997 and I am very skeptical !!

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I have gone through your question and according to me it is most probably due to vitamin B12 deficiency which occurs due to chemotherapy. I advise you an investigation serum vitamin B12 and as far as your treatment is concerned take tablet Neurobion forte once a day for 30 days along with tablet folic acid once a day for 30 days will help you.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Kirti Bhise
