4. Multiple sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system. In multiple sclerosis, your immune system attacks myelin, which is the protective layer around your nerves. Most diagnoses happen in people ages 20 to 50.
MS can cause different symptoms that vary from person to person. Fatigue and numbness are the most common symptoms. Others include sudden leg weakness, difficulty walking, acute and chronic pain, muscle spasticity, tremors, and visual disturbances.
Multiple sclerosis is a lifelong condition that can either progress over time or include periods of relapses of symptoms that are followed by periods of remission.
Treatments for MC, including physical therapy and medication, can slow disease progression and help you regain strength in your legs.
