I had my second PT visit today. My balance has improved a little but my leg and ankle weakness is worse.
I am going back in two weeks to see how I test again. That way the doctor will have 3 different sessions to compare.
I have exercises I do at home now. I got my rollator yesterday.
The MS specialist is trying to find out if this is an exasperation or progression.
So I hope to know what is going on soon.
My doctor changed my medications and an order the PT sessions to help him figure out what is going on.
The PT said when she watches me walk she does not see anything that would worry her much but when she does the testing that is a different story.
I fall into the category of needing aid to walk and keep my balance.
I still have good upper body strength so maybe that helps.
Does anyone else "look" fairly normal when they walk but test poorly?
I have had falls recently and I am very careful. The PT noted I could stand and put my coat on unsupported.
I can stand unsupported in one spot for about 30 seconds and then I have to lean on something or change my foot position.
I seem my MS doctor again the day before Thanksgiving.
