Re: Wobbly legs following physio visit

[Guest guest]

Juley,

I had the same problem (pain, weakness, difficulty walking, tingling in my legs,

etc) several years ago. I waited to go to the Doctors, and ended up having

permanent nerve damage because a disc in my back had ruptured. This was several

years before I developed RSD. Based on my experience, I would suggest he see a

doctor soon. Again, this is only my opinion, from my experience of what

happened to me. I am not a medical professional and I cannot diagnosis his

problem. I can only provide friendly advice. Please keep me posted!

Be well,

Jen

All,

ME TOO, and it turned out I had a severe Vitamin D deficiency which is common in

pain patients and you cannot really tell but on symptom is weak knees and legs,

I actually fell in Walmarts

http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/vitamind-HealthProfessional/ describes the

importance and the endrocrinologist I saw stated that Vitamin D deficiency is an

epidemic now and is common.

I am taking fifty thousand units a week and I never felt such bad BONE pain and

as the old folks (me) say " My legs just gave out on me " . It only took two weeks

of taking the vitamin I could tell the difference.

I mentioned to everyone instead of being so concerned with pee testing, the pain

doctors should be doing vitamin and mineral profiles to make sure their

patient's immune system is optimal.

Wonder what they would find ?

Also Vitamin D is supposed to help pain.

I don't know with your husband having this after physio, they might have caused

something, I certainly would have it checked.

He lifted a heavy weight some months ago and had problems with upper back pain. 

Eventually he saw our doctor ( we are in the UK) and was referred for

Physiotherapy.  He seemed to put the top of the back right but on one visit got

husband to do a twisting stretch.  Mark immediately felt pain and could barely

get off the table.  Since then ( about a month ago) he has not had full feeling

in his legs and says they feel " wobbly " as if his balance is not quite right.

The Physio thinks he has bruised the nerves and that things will return to

normal over time.

Hi

Did your husband go back to the doctor? If not he needs to asap. Twisting is a

very easy way to get hurt. Please send your husband to the doctor and have some

tests done.

I hope you will let us know how he is doing.
