Living with MS--Mobility Issues

When you are living with MS, mobility problems were probably one of the first things to go wrong. Tripping over things that weren't there. A heavy feeling in your limbs. Unexplained weakness.








When you found out that multiple sclerosis was the cause, you may have been relieved, scared, or angry at the same time. If you knew anything about MS, it was probably the horror stories that popped into your mind.

You probably asked your doctor questions like would you end up in a wheelchair. Depending on when you were diagnosed, you may or may not end up in a wheelchair. Your main problems may be with your upper body.

Weakness is very common and is usually the reason people with MS need to use mobility aides. If you need them, you need to use them to be safe when moving around. You also need to consider using them to conserve your energy.

The following is a list of mobility aides you may need to use in order to remain active. You may not always need an electric scooter, but they're good to have when you need to walk long distances.
