Hi all
I have had A new symptom pop up these past two weeks. It started one evening when both my knees lost some sensation - they weren't completely numb, but I could tell there was some loss of feeling there. It didn't last too long, but since then, whenever I put pressure on my knees, for example, when I'm walking down the stairs - my knees shake like crazy. It's completely uncontrollable and is very frustrating. I'm also worried I might fall in the process. Going up the stairs is fine, but coming down, with each bend, they go crazy! Also when I'm standing up they tremor slightly.
I do have uncontrollable movements anyway (muscle jerks/twitches) but nothing like this shaking before. Again it doesn't do it if I'm lying down or something, just when I'm putting pressure on them (I'm a small girl as well, 5ft 5, 8 stone)
Does anyone else have this or similar ?
Thanks :)
