This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Community: Knowledge & Support

Hi Everyone,

Wow! I purchased one about 2 week ago, fairly expensive but worth every penny $1,760.00 including shipping. I have RRMS DX 2001. Can walk short distances only within my home and only with the aid of a walker. I can stand holding onto my walker for 10 to 12 minutes. Well I have gained weight and tryed PT for stiff legs and my arms are so weak. Anyway I've been using this just about every day for the last 2 weeks and already noticing positive changes in me. I can stand on it for 4 minutes at level 5. Your suppose to start slow and build up to 10 minutes 3 to 4 times a week. I also sit down on it for my stomach, back and upper legs. I have noticed more leg strength my arm are stronger and its helping leg pain. My body is toning, my clothes are fitting better and I'm sleeping better and its helping my bladder issues. I'm going to the bathroom more frequently which is really helping with swollen ankles from sitting for so long.
My son and husband are also using it and have noticed more leg strength.
My son works in retail and stands on his feet for 8 hour shifts and says his legs don't hurt anymore. I was skeptical at first, but i'm truly seeing and feeling the benifits.
Bye for now!
Nancy

I've seen a tv ad for one of these machines a few times.
At first, I thought of those old timey machines...but then I wonder and think, it might be helpful.

What I'm wondering now is, what did your PT suggest for stiff legs?
