White House Physician: Biden Suffers from Neuropathy in Feet, Stiffened Gait

President Joe Biden continues to suffer from neuropathy in his feet and a stiffened gait, White House Physician Kevin O’Connor reported after the president’s annual physical.

The health challenges might explain why he struggles to remain upright. Biden tripped, tumbled, and stumbled at least five times in 2023.

Peripheral Neuropathy in Feet:

“Peripheral neuropathy refers to any condition that affects the nerves outside your brain or spinal cord. This can happen for several reasons, from trauma to infections to inherited conditions. There are also many possible symptoms. Many causes, forms or symptoms of this condition are treatable, but this can vary widely from person to person,” according to the Cleveland Clinic.

Stiff Gait:

“Much of his stiffness is in fact a result of degenerative (“wear and tear”) osteoarthritic changes (or spondylosis) of his spine … A combination of significant spinal arthritis, post fracture foot arthritis and a sensory foot peripheral neuropathy of the feet are the explanation of his subtle gait changes which I was investigating,” O’Connor wrote.

Dr. Marc Siegel, a professor of medicine at the George Washington University, suggested some link could exist between his physical health and his cognitive ability.

I suppose it’s vertigo that causes him to stumble around in circles when trying to walk away from a podium.

I have peripheral neuropathy in my feet. Sometimes I stagger around like a drunk man for a few steps until I regain my balance.

“...Many causes, forms or symptoms of this condition are treatable...”

No, they’re not. The medical community doesn’t know much about it at all.

This is an early symptom of Guillain-Barré syndrome…

And here all this time I thought Biden’s stiff gait was due to his diaper being full...

I wish I could be around in about 50 years when the doctor’s REAL notes about Biden’s physical will be released.

I suspect they’ll be nothing like what the White House is reporting.

Escalators scare me, what with trifocals and an unsteady gait.

I have diabetic neuropathy.

Four straight days of cayenne supplements took care of it, with occasional boosts, a couple times a week. Been years now.

Watch his hands Chico.....fingers always together and stiff as a board.....a sure sign of mental decline.

It is just old age, with no regular exercise, and too much alcohol or smoking. I am much older than Biden, but I never smoked, gave up alcohol after age 50 and do regular exercise. I have zero medical issues.
