Husband's walking/balance problems finally diagnosed

Post Reply New Topic

My husband has been having a hard time walking and maintaining his balance for a long time. Finally an MRI revealed he has severe spinal problems, mainly arthritis and stenosis causing pinching of the spinal cord. This requires a trip to a spine specialist and maybe surgery! And his blood sugar is staying high despite how much insulin we give him. This is stressful!

The good news is that it sounds like it is treatable. Good luck!

I hope so, he's been having walking trouble for so long. I kinda wonder if he needs to see a rheumatologist too... He had a knee replacement due to arthritis, he's got it in his hands and it's one of the things in his spine report too.
