Ataxia left leg problem.

Hi guys as well as the above my biggest problems are the trembling, headaches and left leg going numb, pain horrific. I am assuming that it is is my back and that somehow a nerve is being compressed. This has been going on for many months. I am awaiting appointments in the new year. I know we all have many issues so I just wanted to touch base with you all and wish you happiness and hope the new year brings some better times with health. Xxx

I just completed a EMG and I have nerve damage from the s1 bundle, compressed nerve . Waiting for another MRI now.

How long have you had ataxia and what type is it?

I hope you get answers soon! Good luck!

Hi I have extensive back problems and all doc, consultants saying nothing to be done, but insisting they do something.

I have only been diagnosed since early this year, however suspected something was wrong perhaps 2 years previous.

Lady in My support group had similar issue in her neck and was given Botox injections which cured it. Wishing you well x

This worked for me, it may work for you..... I used to have arthritic pain 24/7 in both knees..... someone in this community suggested I use..... Masons Dog Oil.... it comes in 100g tubs..... I apply it liberally to my knees and rub it in well, before going to bed, and sleep through the night pain free, and into the following morning...... you can puchase it on eBay...... good luck! 😀👍
