[sgaetna2013]

For those of you who have suffered gait abnormalities from FMD/FND, did you find physiotherapy an effective treatment to restore your ability to walk normally?

Thanks.

For clarification:

Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is an uncommon medical condition involving abnormal cell growth in artery walls. It usually develops in women but it can affect any age or gender. The symptoms of FMD vary, depending on the arteries affected (examples include migraines and blood pressure problems).

Functional neurological symptom disorder (FND), also called conversion disorder, is a complex condition that causes neurological symptoms without an apparent structural problem in the nervous system. The exact cause is not completely understood, but stress can be a major contributor.

Functional movement disorder (motor FND, affecting movement of the body) symptoms are common and may include: Leg and arm weakness or paralysis. Tremor. Sudden, brief involuntary twitching or jerking of a muscle or group of muscles (called myoclonus)

Hi, sgaetna2013, I see that you normally post to a different NRAS group healthunlocked.com/fndhope and wonder if you have made a mistake in posting to this group which is mainly concerned with Rheumatoid conditions?

You are correct! I did inadvertently post to the wrong group.
