And they were able to do more/further?

Im doing sit to stand and i’m very shaky. I assume it’s fatigue but i want to carry on.

What did you do?

I am doing standing on one leg while cleaning my teeth twice a day for a week - too early to expect visible changes?

What did you do and how did it help your walking?

Go a gym too

Today was day 5 of this - twice a day cleaning my teeth for 2 mins while doing oneleg stand with hand on sink for support. The four days previous to this were very tense and stiff etc. Today was alarming for the difference. I had 4-5 hours of great feeling. Much easier walking, better balance but now tonight extremely stiff etc again. Was so pleased this afternoon but hoping tomorrow will be better again.

Hello, so i am doing the one leg stand while brushing my teeth. Maybe 19 seconds on each leg with a hand for support. Howevee my balance now is really bad and shaky. Is this because my body isn’t used to it so needs to strengthen etc or something else?

Now about 12 weeks into this, no days off yet.

Doing longer walks now and can stay on my feet for 25-30 mins 2 x a day.

My walking quality not hugely improved but i can walk further.

Plus i don’t need my wife to come watching my son play football now. I’m now brave enough to go on my own and see what happens.

Also going into shops and walking up and down every aisle.

I was told to use sticks and get a wheelchair.

This is my retaliation.

Is common with people who have this?

What did you focus on more - walking form or length you could walk?

Ok physios will promote this.

But i went to a rehab place in February who did nothing on balance and instead used a machine and gym work - weights. No balance work.

Where do you stand?

Built their walking up.

Thanks

GP and neuro have both felt legs and can’t feel much or any spasticity. So have said it’s likely nerve pain?

Can been my legs etc etc.

This sound right?

Anyone able to make this go away? mine comes and goes but is a huge pain

What did you do to improve it?

Ok been on holiday the past week but kept up my one minute a day improvement on the previous day.

My walking isn’t perfect and it tires at points but i stay on my feet quite well.

I am now up to 31 minutes which would have been a dream a while back. i don’t walk for 31 mins but i do a mix of walking and stopping.

im putting this on here to inspire others but im at a very low point and need inspiration.

my feet and legs don’t work now very week so any inspiration greatly received!

A killer! But being done!

So i am on my 8th week now and i have switched to 1-2 walks day - increasing by a minute each day. I’m on 16 mins now. When i am out walking in shops it’s ok. I can keep moving and stop to look st things etc. So it’s going well on that front.

Bit it absolutely floors me after. For people who have done this, is this common? and is it because we are teaching our bodies again?

any words of hope greatly received and appreciated.

Inwas told that wouldn’t work. i had to accept it. but people on here who succeed SEEM to work had at improving walking, being able to jog etc. I understand being more accepting but you HAVE to work hard to improve?

I was told “accept it” and there’s nothing you can do. Just get the stick and a wheelchair ready. What are your thoughts?

And your walking improved. Why only one? i’ve been doing 5-7 VERY short walks a day but wake up very unsteady the next day and my walking worse. Did you experience this and was it the reason you only did one? Build slowly?

I have supported one leg stand 8-10 times and the pain experience is bad - anyone else?

When i wake in a morning - any solution?
