I have had balance problems since I was first dx'd with MS. For the past month or so it seems to be getting worse. When I stand my body sways back and forth and I have to keep locking my knees to keep upright. When I walk i have to keep touching the walls to keep my balance. Anyone else have bad balance problems?

Balance
So, sometimes i have issues with that. Mostly when I am going down stairs. I have to really slow as the stairs think it's funny to move when I go down. It is really annoying.
I haven't been dx'd yet, but I have members of my family with MS and have a sneaking feeling what is going on with me. Just took me awhile to tell the doc.
We used to call me sister "weeble wobble" she would sway like that, but then it got better. maybe this is an "episode" and will get better?
I hope so.Life is a Daily Challenge

Balance problems are common with MS.
This link offers help from the NMMS.
Warning, it calls for strength building exercise.

At least they don't move, unlike doors and small dogs.
Canes really don't work for me. My husband found a tall, thick branch and it helps me more. I'm looking into trekking/hiking poles.
