Balance problems

[Andreajohnson]

I was diagnosed 8 year ago this last 12 month I’ve started falling I literally fall forwards or backwards my balance feels awful does anyone else get this.

All the time. I have had a few bad falls. Now that the neurologist has put me on Sinemet, I’m doing much better!

My balance is really off. I’m doing some better now using my Rollator instead of my cane and the increase of Miramex.

Yes but going to physical therapy has helped tremendously

There is specific physical therapy to strengthen your abdomen and back muscles that keep you stable and upright. This is very important to prevent falls. If you can get your doctor to prescribe this for you it could keep you out of a nursing home or prevent a broken hip.

Maintenance and prevention is much better than trying to recover from a fall or accident!

I horse ride most days I have my own horses so I get plenty of core strengthening exercise i think I have no problem on the horse virtually no symptoms only standing up
