Balance, walking and dizziness problems in MS
Balance, walking and dizziness problems are common in MS. Like all MS symptoms, they affect people differently, and vary from one day to another.
For some, feeling unsteady is a brief, passing sensation; for others it may be a more lasting issue that affects getting about day to day.
Symptoms might mean you are wobbly on your feet from time to time, or you might need to move with more care than before to avoid losing balance.
Balance problems and dizziness have a variety of causes.
Once it's clear exactly what's causing the problems, there are techniques for managing them.
