Hello all!
I was diagnosed in 2011 and am currently on Tecfidera for treatment. I have recently noticed a walking issue that I've been trying to research and understand.
When walking a distance, such as across a parking lot, I feel like I'm walking uneven. My right side is affected the most by my MS and this is the side that's bothering me while trying to walk. I feel like I'm dragging my right leg. I thought of foot drop because I do sometimes bend my knee and lift my leg high when I notice the issue. It's hard to explain but it's like a drag and a limp. I notice it more with distance, or going downhill.
My neuro has me walk the hallway at every visit and never notices anything. I don't think it's enough of a distance for it to happen.
Thoughts? Anyone dealing with this and know what I'm talking about? I want to discuss this more thoroughly at my next visit but I'm not quite sure how to explain.
