would like more info on freezing of gait how many of you have it when did it start for you
I never heard of Freezing of gait until i went on here a few days ago & heard other peoples stories
I'm 43 yr old Male I have mild CP and up to about a year ago i could walk fine anywhere i went
but now when I'm walking especially outside on concrete or on a road or open spaces or around curbs i will get nervous & freeze and i wasn't sure what was wrong. me & my parents were just thinking it's anxiety so the doctor put me on lexapro 2 months ago which doesn't seem to be helping & seems like it's making walking worse at times so I'm going to go off of it. I'm going to go see a neurologist and see what they say & probably to physical therapy.
seems like on grass & carpet and if i have walls or objects beside me then I'm fine. also on my basement steps sometimes i will get nervous at the very top and not be able to step on the last step.
i guess i have a fear of falling but the thing is i never fell yet but sometimes i feel the need to get on the ground. I'm guessing it's something in my mind & I'm not sure how to make it go away.
