Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have MS but also a compressed disc or two in my back. Lately, I have been unable to maintain walking long distances and sometimes my upper body is hard to maintain. My posture is off and I walk with a limp. It feels like one leg is longer sometimes. Can I exercise to improve my walking?
It looks that resent problem is not due to prolpased disc.This looks to be due to MS.I hope you are well aware about medicines which are used in MS, Your doctor is best judge to prescribe them in best doses.
You may do exercises and take help of a physical therapist to improve your gait as well as strength of muscles. You may also use some muscle relaxant medicines on prescription from your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari
