Re: balance problems

[Guest guest]

I also have balance problems.They think it is that way due to meds.I have bone

spurs in my ankles,wrists & lower back due to breaking them when I fall. I

recently broke my lower back 2 bones just above my tailbone ,knocked the tips

off my spine. I did it about a month ago & it still hurts.Hubby & sons took out

the outside stairs & made a ramp just for me because I kept falling up & down

the darned things.It was a big surprise.They did it while I was in Bangor with

my mother.I was so proud of all my boys, I cried.

I use canes to keep my balance.I use those metal wrist crutches They help a

great deal with my balance.

Blessed be,

Ms.Katurah

Subject: balance problems

Could my 'balance' troubles be from low blood pressure? I tested myself at wake

up and it was 89/53, after breakfast, it was 80/50, nerve pain still here but

well hidden under pain medications.

With my balance problems it has always been my motor skills/movements.

I also have nerve pain that won't go away.

I have been on Lyrica for any type of pain (mostly h/a but it helps the

others) but I don't know what to take with the stuff that goes over that.

 I have low blood pressure to begin with but never really thought that having my

bp go lower could bother balance. It can make you dizzy or lightheaded. That I

know.

I go here for my information:

there is low bp

and

I looked up motor skills and got brain stuff and am not sure if that pertains to

you or not .

I think it depends on what all your symptoms are, not just that you are off

balanced and have nerve pain.

Me, I am off balanced and probably be that way the rest of my life due to having

a brain tumor in 2007 to 2009, I get checked this fall and pray that it is still

gone since my balance, writing, talking are all affected.

I want to help more and i hope i helped some,

HUGS and hope you find your answer, let us know,

Hi All,

   I have balance problem.  I don't what it's from.  Possible from being in the

car accident over 3 years ago.  When I go to Physical Therapy they have a board

and want me to try to balance myself.  They know I sucks on that part. 

    On August 5th I will go to a Neurologist and see why I'm jerking my arms,

legs, and sometime my face is like a  " funny face " and sometime I hit myself for

no reason.  I hope it's nothing serious.  God I hope it's nothing serious.  I

have enough to deal with.

Are you taking any medication that causes tardive dyskinosea? That's the first

thing I thought of as I was reading your message.
