Walking aids?

I mobilise with a crutch, sometimes 2 due to balance issues. However recently I have been looking into and considering a rollator (walking frame with a seat) to allow me to walk for longer periods as I'd really like to try to exercise a bit more, but I haven't taken the plung yet as I go from think...

Loss of feeling

If I might ask another question? I'm so full of questions, yet I don't know how to feel right now or how to ask. My apologies, I really do have a question. I lived in Texas for about 15 years. While living there my balance became worse and worse and I was constantly falling over nothing. I have so...

Disc Bulge

An MRI around three months ago showed a disc bulge on L4/5 which causes regular pain - especially in night/mornings and weakness on that side (right) and thus mobility and balance issues. I know three non-MS fri...

Biking with MS

I just “re-learned” how to ride a bike after about 10 years. Had to learn from zero like a child and now very excited I can ride on my own. Still feel it’s difficult to balance so have to be very focused. Any advice??? Anyone in london taking up biking?
