Follow-up visits allow the clinician to track sensation, strength, balance, pain, nutrition, and alcohol use.
Progress may also be measured by practical changes, such as fewer falls, improved sleep, safer walking, or better ability to complete daily tasks.
Routine follow-up is appropriate for stable symptoms, medication reviews, nutritional monitoring, and referrals for rehabilitation or alcohol treatment.
The article also says
Nerves heal slowly.
Improvement, when it occurs, may take months or longer.
Pain and abnormal sensations can sometimes feel more noticeable during recovery, so symptom changes should be discussed rather than interpreted without medical advice.
Every sign above is quoted from the sofidex article on Alcoholic neuropathy. If you are not sure, err upward — it is always reasonable to be checked.
