Falling down .is it a sign of MS?

A couple of times i have fallen down while walking. I was NOT drinking. Could this be a sign of Multiple Sclerosi.
Answers:
We can be certain that it's a sign of gravity. Other than that, it's at best a "maybe".To make any diagnosis, your doctor will take a full history, do a physical examination and arrange appropriate investigations. (Ever notice how she/he doesn't ask one question, type the answer into Yahoo Answers, then tell you your diagnosis?)On the upside, MS isn't really common, so probably not too likely.

Yes, but you could be a klutz. Get checked, but always get a second opinion!

---

maybe. do you ever get REALLY tired after doing just a little bit of manual labor. my mother has this disease and those are some of the symptoms.

---

it could be a sign of a number of diseases. I tend to have falls when I am coming down with a migraine, Sometimes my right leg just gives out.

You should really go get a doctors opinion hun. Asking the dumb asses on the internet is not a good way to find out. Maybe you are just prone to falling..like Kramer! LOL!..seriously though see a doctor to make sure and ease your mind.

I suppose it could be. It could be from tripping over your own big feet too. It could be from twising your ankle or stepping in a pot hole. You really dont' give enough info here. Only your Dr knows for sure.

Falling down unexpectedly can be a sign of a large number of different things, some relatively benign while others are a great deal more serious. If you are falling routinely you really ought to be examined by your primary physician.

the others gave some good theories but I could add it could be " Carpel tunnel syndrome" where your wrists or ankles co lapse causing you to drop something or fall down.since I fell 4 yrs ago from that the cartilage and ligaments in my knee's have deteriorated so the pain will continue to increase until I have surgery in Nov.2006. So yes please do go to a Neurologist and a orthopaedic surgeon only if you've taken a nasty tumble and need medical assistance. good luck!
