Falling or Tripping

Posted by kmgustav @kmgustav, May 13 7:25pm

During the worst of my symptoms I had “toe drag” and face-planted into the sidewalk twice. It was my right toe each time. I also tripped a couple of times going up the stairs.

Has “toe drag” been a symptom for others?

Thanks.

The PMR and the steroids do result in muscle weakness. Try to do some leg strengthening things. Even just standing at the kitchen counter, hands on the counter, and doing knee bends. I've learned to move slower than before. When I start to go too fast, I start to trip.
