What body condition is associated with trouble walking?

What health condition do you have when you are unable to walk? What is it called when you suddenly cannot walk without being injured?

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

If you don’t remember being injured in any way and haven’t recently been doing a lot more leg exercises that would temporarily make your leg muscles weak and painful, you likely have a disease or disorder that causes your nerves to stop communicating with your muscles. Whenever you suddenly lose muscle function in a part of your body, it is most likely due to a lack of nervous signals to that part of your body. I am sorry to say that many of the diseases and disorders that can do that are both serious and either permanent or very difficult to recover from.

If you don’t have any other illnesses and have suddenly lost muscular function in your legs, you may have muscular dystrophy and need to see a neurologist who specializes in muscular dystrophy as soon as possible. The best place to find one is your local MDA clinic.
