What Causes Clonus And Difficulty In Walking?
I recently went to an Orthropedic doctor who will be getting me in contact with a neurologlist due to sign he saw of clonus and my relexes being different from normal people. He believes there is someone neurologic wrong with me. He also mention my body seems to be very tight and I tend to fall a lot. He did not find any thing wrong with my bones, but believes there is some definitely wrong with me. Would you say it can be someone minor. I also have a hard time walking

hi,
clonus is an abnormal fast contraction of the muscles. in clonus the muscles of the agonist and antagonist co-contract repetitively and fast without having any conscious control on it. usually found in lower limbs. your orthopedic is true. you need to surely meet a neurologist for inperson assessment. by the way what is your age?
thanks
