10 Myositis Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #8: Falling and Tripping
Another condition that’s quite common among the various forms of myositis is an increased risk of tripping and falling. This is particularly true of IBM, a type of myositis that is known to affect the thighs.
As people’s muscles become inflamed, they become more and more difficult to use. If the muscles in the legs become inflamed then, naturally, it will become more difficult for a person to participate in everyday movements such as walking and running. This makes them more likely to trip and fall and this can be one of the more dangerous problems associated with myositis.
