Hi, I have Dystonia and have had DBS which has controlled the symptoms. However I also have a problem with my right leg, and have fallen several times.The last fall was 10 days ago. My PCP thinks I may have Drop Foot and has referred me to a local neurologist. I also have a 15% shunt and am in the process of determining if I have HHT. Can HHT be a source of the leg problem? especially since I have been told I have White matter disease?
Hi, neurology is a complicated system to understand and comment by just a mere of few words. You need to be more in providing your medical history in detail without any short forms. Ofcourse muscles are controlled by the nerves and nerves are by brain. So white matter and gray matter makes an importance for the transmission of neural impulses. Meeting up a neurologist is always a good step. You can even meet a physical therapist for some exercises which are specific to brain training. And if your neurologist feels he will surely recommend you for physical therapy as with medicine it works well.
