I was having back pain if I stood too long or walked very far. Had no idea why I had back spasms, but assumed it was MS because I had a relapse a couple of months ago and am healing very slowly.
Anyway my hubby noticed when I walk, I am leaning forward with my trunk.
I had no idea I was doing that! I didn't used to walk like that.
Turns out people do that sometimes to compensate for weakness in the legs. My legs are for sure weaker than before the MS (bad thoracic lesion).
So I am trying to remember to stand up straight as I walk! I still can't stand or walk as long as I want to though because of leg weakness. And getting up the stairs takes a lot more effort than it used to, but I am just thankful to be able to walk at all!
Have any of you ever found out you were leaning forward without realizing it, as you walked?
