Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have always had problems with my balance and weakness , but a few months I was ago this problem started getting worse and has gotten worse very rapidly. I virtually cannot walk without assistance . I have also had a gout related incident, my vision has deteriorated some in the past year , I had a severe outbreak of rosacea , and that s just the beginning. I do have numerous other health problems that I have been dealing with for years . I recently had an MRI and it shows a pituitary cyst . I have been seeing Dr. all spring and summer and will be seeing a neurologist at the end of December holiday. Can you give me any insight into this problem I m having with my coordination , equilibrium , and gait?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Since you have multiple problems like gout, balance and progressive weakness only a proper clinical evaluation, examination, and investigations can help you with a proper diagnosis. You have to continue with proper medications for gout as this is treatable and have dietary restrictions as would be advised by your Doctor or the Nutritionist. Ask for a good Physiotherapist as this will help tremendously for balancing of the muscles which in turn help in movements. Use the aids like calipers. Vision problem, Rosacea can be treated with relevant specialists.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant
