Guest guest Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Hi everyone, I am new to the group. I was diagnosed with PLS in 2005 at the University of Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor, Mich. My symptoms started in 2003 with stiffness in the left leg & balance problems shortly after I had radiation treatment for breast cancer and a bad case of Shingles on my left side. I have taken several falls, but no broken bones. My left side is effected and some speech problems. The neurologist I had in Kalamazoo, Mich. did many MRI's & a Spinal tap and could not figure out what was wrong. I have done P.T. for over two years on & off and have stretching exercises I do at home. I use a walker now for stability. Are any of you bothered with hip discomfort or lower back pain? I am on a mild muscle relaxer, but if I ride too far in the car my leg still gets stiff, makes traveling difficult. Thanks for listening, Ruth H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
