trump LIMPING LEG Controversy SWEEPS CAMPAIGN -Adam Mockler



Dragging a leg when walking can be due to a variety of causes, typically tied to muscular, neurological, or orthopedic issues. Here are some common reasons:

1. Nerve Damage or Neuropathy: Peripheral neuropathy, often caused by Diabetes, can result in nerve damage that affects the legs. This can lead to weakness, numbness, or dragging of one leg.
2. Stroke: A stroke can impair muscle control on one side of the body, leading to dragging of the leg as the affected side weakens.
3. Multiple Sclerosis (MS): MS can damage the central nervous system, affecting balance, muscle strength, and coordination, causing a dragging leg gait in some individuals.
4. Parkinson’s Disease: This condition is characterized by slow, shuffling steps. Weakness and muscle stiffness may cause a person to drag a leg.

Not every ailment requires a life-altering disease.

To be clear, I'm not saying it can't be any of the others. We just, for whatever reason, skip the simple solutions and go right to the biggies.

It's like putting the symptoms of your cold into WebMD's symptom checker, and it suggesting that you have brain cancer.
