You only went 1 time to the therapist? I will be going many times to get me to walk straight again. You are right about our gait causing a lot of the problem. They seem pretty positive they can do it though. They felt it was a bunching up in my hip that was the problem. Hope we can fix it. Janice

And that really doesn't surprise me when I think about "walking/wobbling" with a cane for years. Our gait is slightly "off" The therapist worked on me from top of my neck to my toes for almost 2 hours, which didn't feel very good, but did I ever feel like a new person when she was done and I stood up!! Good luck, hope it all goes well and you find the relief you're looking for.

At the time, I had not heard of that being a possibility. I now know what whoever was talking about. My legs are still the same length and my spine is straight, but I am walking now as though one leg is slightly longer than the other. It is caused by the myelitis and they tell me with therapy, they can fix it - I hope. So, to whoever wrote in asking about that, I hope they got help for it. Something happens in the upper back hip area. Anyway, I am working on fixing this and hope no one else has this problem. Janice
