Running

Okay so I got diagnosed in July of 2017. I haven't run since. 2016. I can't run.I just can't do it. It physically hurts and my body refuses to move. Can anyone give me tips on how to, like, make that happen for myself?

Hi @siwongiwe and welcome. You've asked a tough question because MS is an unpredictable condition. Relapses can cause all manner of weaknesses. Some are temporary, others will become permanent. You look young, so I would hope these problems are temporary. Do you have access to a treadmill? This would seem a safe option for you to try and "re-educate" your legs.

Thank you for responding @stumbler. I do have access to a treadmill but my MS comes with many balance problems. I am not able to walk easily and properly. I always fall and bump into things. So I don't know if the treadmill is something I could do as yet. I'm 21. Are you saying that one day I would be able to run?
