I was finally diagnosed in September after making an appointment at another neurology center. My first neurologist said I was too old (77) for ALS and gave a DX of sensorimotor polyneuropathy. It turns out that I have both and was told by the ALS clinic that it is not unusual for older patients with ALS to also have neuropathy.
I first used a cane and now use a rollator for all but the shortest distances. I tire very easily when using the walker. Would leg braces help extend the time I will be able to use the rollator?
Will leg braces help reduce the fatigue from walking?
I recently got a neck brace to hold my head erect and that really helped to reduce fatigue.
