My mom can't walk, doctor's don't know why

When I got sick it was also very mysterious, I understand a little bit about how you feel. Keep advocating and researching her symptoms online. Also, keep an eye the basics during this time - make sure she’s hydrated, get her up and around for a walk on good days, make sure she’s getting healthy food and rest. The same goes for you - especially since you have a little one too. Your schedule can go out the window with medical visits and whatnot and that just makes everything worse. Until you know otherwise, assume that this is just a bump in the road and that she will be fine. She’s only 62 - that’s relatively young! At her age there are lots of changes to several body systems due to menopause winding down - it could turn out to be something simple. I hope you have good luck in having her seen by another facility. Hang in there and try not to focus on the scary what-ifs.

Perhaps you want to consider taking your mom to see a “movement disorder specialist”a
Thats a sub speciality of neurology found in academic teaching hospitals and other large progressive medical institutions. Movement disorders run in my family. It took many years to diagnose my father’s movement disorder which turned out to be a non tremor/non-dementia form of parkinson’s. Wishing you and your mom all the best
