Over the years,I've had times when things got a little better for a
while,then got worse and stayed that way.
For years I walked in the house without any devices,then went to a cane,and
now a walker. I'm sure if I lost weight I'd be able to do better.
My right leg is the "strong" one,and that isn't saying much these days. :)

A month or so ago I had a span when I was pretty strong. I went to HyVee and
walked the cart like you did. I was so proud. Now I am in a recession and
not
strong enough to do it again. My right leg has decided to weaken. We are
not sure why - could be a ham string, but after a session of PT it was much
better, then
all of a sudden, it went weak. Anything like that happen to you - or any
TM'ers?

I use a walker all the time,even walking in my house. I never know when my
legs will fail me.At the store I put the walker in the cart.Today I just had 4
things to get,so I used the regular cart and kept it close to my body.

Hi Janice,
I usually have my daughter Lynn do my grocery shopping since the store is
so spread out.But I needed several items in Walmart and I wanted to get out of
the house for a while.
I just came back from the local grocery store;got all I needed at one
end,was out in less than 10 min.

Cheryl,
I am sure that those who saw you fall, or just afterward, thought that you had
a lot of guts to get out and shop. I hope this doesn't keep you from going
again. You go girl!!!!!

Hi John,
I wish I could say I had no pain for even a few seconds. But,from the moment
I open my eyes until I go to sleep the burning pain,numbness,tingling,and
"banding" are my constant companions.
Today is a really bad day. Yesterday I went to Walmart with my daughter
Lynn.While walking down an aisle,the cart got ahead of me somehow,and the next
thing I knew I was flat on the floor. It almost felt like there was a slant to
the floor.
I let go of the cart so it wouldn't fall over with me.So there I was
,lying face down.Only one person stopped to help.She held her cart,Lynn held
mine and I tried to push up on my "good" leg,but couldn't do it. Lynn went and
got an employee who brought an automated cart,and I was able to get up by
leaning on the seat and pushing up.
Today I am bruised on my legs and forearms,and achy all over.But,I am so
thankful I didn't break any bones.Lynn says she never saw anyone fall "in one
piece" without bending knees.Scared her;she thought I was having a stroke or
heart attack.

Does anyone ever have moments that they don't feel anything?
Moments of "no pain" but then you move and shazam! there it is again?
