Why is my mother unable to walk?
Patient: my mom is 59 years old she has been having mild signs of altzeihmers like repeating herself and forgetting newly given information .....yesterday i took her to the hospital because she couldn't walk and her legs kept giving out on her they gave her and ekg and said she seemed fine which she did because she began to walk again... however the same thing happened again this morning any suggestions on what is causing this problem Doctor: Hello,Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.Alzheimers cannot lead to this kind of symptom although presence of alzheimers as an independent diagnosis cannot be negated as she has significant forgetfullness. Her forgetfullness needs to be evaluated in detail. Regarding her inability to walk, there could be a problem in the brain which could be leading to such a problem of having inability to walk. She should go ahead with an MRI of the brain. Hope I am able to answer your concerns.If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below mentioned link:bit.ly/dr-srikanth-reddy
