Question 1

Accepted Answer

Many things: There is a long list of possible causes.  Weakness due to being in a cast to nerve inusr from the fracture or the cast.  I would see the doctor who treated you for the fracture.

Question 2

i need to ask again .i had a pace maker fit on jan 7th 2010 but today i still have problems walking and sitting up?

Accepted Answer

Walking and pacemake: I assume you still have dizziness etc.... I would suggest you talk to the cardiologist - having a pacemaker is not a total treatment. You may pre-existing cardiac issue that is still the cause of the issue.

Question 3

can you have an acl injury without major problems walking?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely: After the initial acl tear, your knee can function quite normally as long as you don't attempt to twist your knee on a planted foot (cutting motions moving side to side such as during sports activities). Walking and running doesn't typically require a functioning acl. Many people that don't participate in cutting activities do quite well without an acl.

Question 4

i have problems walking in a straight line and with my balance in general. what could be causing this? is it related to cluster headaches?

Accepted Answer

Imbalance: You need to get this checked, not sure if the diagnosis of cluster headaches is correct, you need to see your doctor and explain your symptoms. It can be from the brain or from an ear problem and the treatment differs.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Cut tendon: Yes, quite possibly you cut a tendon.

Question 6

my husband has esld he has been sleeping 18 plus hrs a day, yawns continuously and has problems walking.  is he going to die soon?  i am so scared

Accepted Answer

Encephalopathy?: He sounds pretty sick, and his ammonia level may be so high as to contribute to the presentation you've documented. This can be treated, but it requires confirmatory testing first. Many other conditions can also cause his problems however--some unrelated to the liver. Please get him to the doctor ASAP.

Question 8
