What Causes Dizziness And Difficulty In Walking?
Hello I am a 72 year old female and my ability to walk - most my right leg - has progressively gotten worse over the last 7 years. I am dizzy most of the time and imbalanced. I have had to start using a walking cane to keep stability while walking. I have been to two neurologist and they can t tell me why my walking ability is deteriorating. Can you help?

Hi and welcome.
This is definitely sign of neurologic disorder and you should do MRI scan and EEG to evaluate your brain function. Most commonly this may be sign of small brain atrophy, TIA or PArkinsons. You should rule these out first and theren medications may be prescribed.
WIsh you good health. Regards
