What Causes The Feeling Of Slipping?

I feel like I am going to slip on the bare floors but not on the carpet but if I remove my shoes or sandals , I can walk bare foot without the feeling of slipping. I have added plavix and metformin to my medicines recently and wonder if they are causing the problem?

Hello,

What appears to me is the slipping is not caused due to the medications you are taking. This slipping might be due to non-gripping of the foot skin texture.

What I would suggest is to dip the feet in the normal room temperature water and then clean it nicely with a towel so the dead skin comes out by rubbing the towel harder. The new skin texture will form and you will get a good grip. Also, try picking up petals or marbles with the help of the toes so you start getting good holding grip.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Jay Indravadan Patel, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist
