Dragging Toes/Tripping/Weakness
by elliejah, Oct 11, 2009 04:20AM
Hello, I'm 28years old.
For about the last 4 years off and on, I've experienced my toes dragging along the ground causing me to trip, or the sensation that one of my legs feels too weak to walk up a set of stairs, ect... I used to be a very very active person in sports such as skateboarding, volleyball and running. I used to be able to use a treadmill but now I'm stuck to an elliptical. Some days I can walk for hours and there's no problems, but some days it's so ridiculous that I opt to take a bus or drive instead. I sometimes have to walk slower than my group at times, and then others times I'm right no scheduled and can walk, jog, or jump fine. I've exercised my legs and feet thoroughly in the past to cross that out... I've been to foot doctors that say that my flat feet can cause this and have had insoles that have work temporarily but the symptoms always come back. There's no dumbness or tingling of any sort, only off and on weakness in either the feet, calves, or lower thighs. I'm in a different country right now and can't afford the medical bills so I'm looking to seek ideas online...
It's the most annoying, uncontrollable thing that's happened to me. Ever.
