Hi, so I was a bit confuse where to post my question, so I am asking it here, My name is Hailey and i am 19, every since I was 17 I started noticing something, I was falling often, and my legs were frezzing up. when I would try to walk or run, my legs would go stiff and I would fall. it only happened a few time, but now almost 2 years later, thing have gotten worse. I dont fall as much , but when I get up my legs go stiff and I can walk normal, or if im walking randomly, or trying to go up something, my legs go stiff and its uncomfortable and hard for me to walk, also i noticed it with my fingers, my hands will go stiff when I am tring to do something, and frezz in a postion, and it takes a little bit for them to go back to normal, then last, my neck frezzes up on me ocassionally, like it doesnt want to turn, i dont know what to do about it, and i am scared, does any one have advise for me, im uncomfortable, and i need help?????????

hello, H --

this is a perfectly appropriate place to post.

you need to see a neurologist. since this has been going on for two years and seems to be getting worse, you need to see a neurologist as soon as you can.

i send caring thoughts and hope you will keep us posted about how you are doing.
