I only enjoy numbness in my foot and my toes are starting to curl under. Plus I stagger if I am not holding on to something when I amble through the apt. I can't stand alone cause that make me stagger. I WAS a smoker for 42 years and stopped 14 years ago. Is there anything I can do for the numbness and staggering and would walking aid? I have CO PD and walking at length is almost imppossible. I am 72. Thank you intensely much. Shirley

Answers:    Hi, you said you've been a smoker for 42 years and consequently you stopped. How long have be experiencing this numbness? you see, being a smoker predisposed you to particular diseases for ex. guillain-barre syndrome which has symptoms similar to you are experiencing right now. In guillian-barre, numbness may progress to paralysis and it starts from our foot. I am not suggesting that you have this condition, but it would be accurate and to also give you peace of mind, enjoy it checked by a doctor. God Bless!:)

Exercise (for you walking) might help, ask your doctor. Although it won't imagined improve much because your COPD have made it very difficult to take oxygen to your cells surrounded by your feet. So they surface numb, and you can't control your muscles as much.
