Default Weak ankles

Sorry to be posting again.

NPNP here
New
Peripheral
Neuropathy
Person

Tried to search this question. Could not find answer.

Hmmmm......
I have been having on/off problems with both of my ankles; not at the same time.

Walking; at times they seem to ALMOST give out.
Pain occurs; ankles seem to twist; causes loss of balance;

IS this another symptom of PN?


I walk with a cane, and sometimes forearm crutches or walker, due to muscle weakness and balance issues with myastenia gravis, aka MG. MG affects PROXIMAL muscles. I know MUCH about MG, diagnosed in 2000; anyone who has questions please feel free to ask me.

Using the walking assist devices, when my ankles have gone out - I am sure has kept me from tumbling to the ground.



Having issues with peripheral muscles (PN) is striking a major chord with me. Whole new bag of issues, pain, odd feelings, symptoms, etc.

Knowledge is power.
That is why I am here.

Thanks in advance for any replies.
