A member asked:
When it says trouble walking with brain tumor, does that mean people walk all crooked and bumping in walls? or falling?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Brain tumors can certainly cause difficulties with walking which can manifest itself anywhere from feeling off balance, experiencing leg weakness, or lacking walking coordination altogether. If this occurs, walking devices such as canes and walkers are often necessary, and sometimes even a wheelchair.
