If you're over 55 and want to know how well you're actually aging, your feet are telling you before anything else does.

Here's one I check constantly, on almost every patient who walks in: how far your knee moves forward over your foot without your heel lifting off the ground.

Stand barefoot facing a wall. Heel flat. Drive your knee forward until it touches.

I've had patients tell me their ankles feel fine, they're not worried about it at all. Then I put them against the wall and the heel pops up. Or one side travels way farther than the other, and they had no idea.

That's the part I wish more people understood. You don't feel yourself lose a few degrees of ankle motion a year. What you feel, months later, is that squatting gets harder, your stride gets shorter, stairs take more out of you than they used to.

By the time someone tells me "I just feel older," I can usually already see it at the wall.

Try it right now. If your heel lifts, don't brush it off — bring it up at your next visit.

Bloodwork came back normal, so they told her it was idiopathic — just an unexplained diagnosis with no real answer.

Then I tapped one spot behind her knee.

She jumped. "That's it. That's exactly it."

Normal labs don't rule out a nerve problem. They just mean nobody tested the nerve itself.

A compressed or irritated nerve can look completely clean on paper and still be the whole problem — the workup has to go looking for it in the right place.

Save this before your next appointment, and ask if anyone's actually put hands on the nerve itself.

Patients thank me for "good news" that's actually the scariest part of the exam.

The burning stops. They feel relieved.

I'm the one who gets quiet, because that's usually not healing — it's the nerve losing more fiber.

Burning means the nerve is still firing, still irritated. Numbness means it's gone quiet. Quiet is when a pebble in the shoe turns into a wound you don't find for a week.

I stopped asking patients if it hurts less. I ask if they can feel more. That's the question that actually tells me where the nerve stands.

Save this before your next appointment.

A patient told me last week her pain was "worse but in a good way" — three weeks in a row.

That phrase is the problem.

Soreness for a day or two after something new is normal. Tissue reacting, settling, adjusting.

Pain that keeps climbing session after session isn't your body working through anything. It's a signal getting ignored until it can't be.

The way to tell the difference is the trend, not the moment. Day by day — is your baseline actually coming down, even with the occasional bad day? Or is the floor itself creeping up?

The number I actually watch isn't a lab value — it's whether someone can still stand still with their eyes closed.

Balance runs on three inputs, and most people only ever think about one — the inner ear. Eyes and nerve feedback from the feet matter just as much, and the feet are usually the first thing to go quiet.

The tricky part is the compensation. Once the feet stop sending good signal, the eyes quietly take over. You feel steady. You look steady. Then you close your eyes to wash your face or step into a dark room, and you're suddenly reaching for something to hold.

That gap — stable with eyes open, unstable with eyes closed — is one of the clearest signs of nerve involvement I see in the office. It's the reason I stopped treating neuropathy as a numbness problem.

Try the test near a counter. If you sway or reach in the first few seconds, bring that to your next visit.

Save this for later.

The AI in that ad isn't the part that should worry you.

It's that the bottle behind it can say "supports nerve health" without ever proving it does.

Supplements don't have to hit a studied dose to carry a claim like that. They just have to sound right.

That's why I pulled the label instead of listening to the pitch — the dose, the B12, and what it can't touch at all.

Two bottles can look identical and do completely different things to your nerves.

Save this before you buy one, and check yours against it.
