About 2am sat morning I had to go to the bathroom so I went to get out of bed...I fell. I tried to get up a few times and my right leg would work. It felt like jello. I finally got up and walked to the bathroom. I walked in and almost fell again. My leg wasn't numb or asleep it just felt like it wasn't there. Could this be a MS symptom? I've not been diagnosed with ms but I have a lot of the symptoms. I'm on baclofin but I don't think that had anything to do with my fall. My leg is so black from falling. It really scared me.

Call your doctor and get checked out.

I have problems with my legs not feeling like they're there sometimes. Hate when that happens.

What do you think the cause is?

I'm not a doctor. I would not have any way of knowing. I think my issue is neurological, and probably comes from a lesion I have on my spine.



You probably need to go see your doctor/neuro and have them check you over. That's probably the only way to figure out what's going on with you.

i agree with erin. we can't say what's going on because we're not drs.
have your dr examine you and tell him what's been happening.
my neuro once told me when i get up in the middle of the night to make sure my brain is really engaged and awake before i try to walk.

let us know how it goes.

Hi there

I am so sorry that you have had a fall. I have had several in the last six-eight months or so. My neuro puts it down to a loss of signal from spinal lesions.

If you are not diagnosed it may or may not or be not be MS - whatever, you should get it checked out. I have trouble at night with proprioception - in simple terms, knowing where parts of me are in relation to myself (like, where is my leg???? Or even whose leg is that???? Or not automatically knowing exactly where my feet are when I climb stairs,) But sometimes I fall for no reason, except that the messages are no getting through.

I wish you the best, and hope that it all work out oK.
