What Causes Dropped Head?

Hi, I reside in Texas but is writing in about my 62 y/o brother who lives in Louisiana. I don t know much about his symptoms or conditions. I m getting my information from my sister. About a year ago his head started hanging down when walking. He is not in pain. I was told he has had MRI s, perhaps some other test, blood work, etc..... and has seen a Neurologist and a brain doctor but know one has yet to come up with a diagnosis. Please advise.

Hello,

As you become aged your muscle becomes weak and skeletal system may start to some degenerative changes. As you already done MRI and other neurological work up. You should consult a spine surgeon who can definitely tell you what's the issue.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
