Walking with a ‘bounce’

(5 discussions)

All my life I have had a distinctive ‘bounce’ when I walk. The faster I walk, the more pronounced the bounce. I am very aware of the bounce, and friends have commented on my walking style. I have tried many times to walk ‘without’ bouncing, with no luck (unless I stiffen like a board and look even more ridiculous).
Is this bouncing indicative of a structural problem, or a habitual walking style that I have gotten so used to, I can’t change?? Would a certain type of execrcise help to level out my walking??

    From your description, it could be one of the dorsocutaneous sensory nerves on the top of the foot that is injured. If it is still intact, it should recover, unfortunately it will take many months. You might change the lacing pattern of your shoes or even put a tongue pad in your shoes to cushion the top of the foot.

    I have had nerve damage in my foot and leg for 15 months now. It is a burn and electric and sore feeling that is very painful. It hurts more when it is touched or I have had my foot down on the floor for a while. It is a constant ache even with medication. Luckily, it sounds like yous could be a mild case. Have them do a EMG when you go to the doctor. That will help in determining the extent of the damage. Best Wishes.

    There are many very thin sensory nerves on the top of the foot. That is just a general heading. I believe you would be better served seeing a neurologist or a podiatrist.
