I think it is safe to say that once TM hits you, it runs rampant in your body
and decides at odd places to do it's
thing. It doesn't always make sense! Janice, Missouri

Mine is at c5 and c6. My legs were paralyzed briefly, but I can walk now, a
little shakey but I can walk! It happened in 2001.
Have a wonderful day!

Hi Janice,
No, they were normal before TM. My arms and hands are another story: my
right arm is twisted inward slightly, my right hand is stiff, cannot lift my
right hand-it droops like foot drop, I use a utensil holder on my right hand, I
type with my right thumb.
My left arm is twisted outward slightly. My left fingers are curled slightly,
I can lift my left hand. I can push down my pants with my left hand, but have
to pull up with the right. I can't feel hot or cold water on my arms or hands.
I can't drive. I can't raise my arms over my head.
Does anyone else have these strange characteristics? My neurologist had
never seen this "phenomenom" before and wanted me to come to the university
where he teaches to show his students. I opted not to do so.
Have a wonderful day everyone!
And happy birthday to all those celebrating this month.
Priscilla in TN

I am assuming that the feet were not a problem before TM.

Do both of yours turn in or just one. My left in fine, my right sure
wants to go right (outwards). We need to
be able to control our feet or no telling what direction we will end up!!

Hey Janice,
Both of my feet turn inward. My walk is more scissors walk.

Hello All,
I was wondering if any of you had one or both feet that wants to
turn out. My right foot leans to the right instead
of walking straight. When I straighten it, it feels like I am
walking pigeon-toed. Do any of you have something
like that?
