Why do my legs start shaking when going downstairs?

Question

it is ONLY when i go downstairs

Answer 1

Hi

I am  50 year old white male

History i was an athlete and all around good shape

About 20 years ago i noticed the very same thing that your question ask.  At first i put it off.  

Then i noticed that when i would be driving a standard auto

everytime i would push in the clutch or try and hold the break down my legs would shake uncontrollable  

then it went to when i would walk down hills etc

I would suggest that you see a nero surgen

have a MRI done

This could be the early stages of Multiple Sclorosis

or what is called degenertive spinal cord

Please do not get scared or take my words for it

i was dignosed with MS

Possible reason your legs are shaking is called

Clonus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

"Clonus" may also refer to the 1979 film Parts: The Clonus Horror.

Clonus (from the Greek for "violent, confused motion") is a series of involuntary muscular contractions due to sudden stretching of the muscle. Clonus is a sign of certain neurological conditions, and is particularly associated with upper motor neuron lesions such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), stroke, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord damage and hepatic encephalopathy. Unlike the small, spontaneous twitching known as fasciculations (usually caused by lower motor neuron pathology), clonus causes large motions that are usually initiated by a reflex.

Clonus is most common in the ankles, where it is tested by rapidly flexing the foot upward (dorsiflexion). It can also be tested in the knees by rapidly pushing the patella towards the toes. Only sustained clonus (5 beats or more) is considered abnormal.

Clonus appearing after ingesting potent serotonergic drugs strongly predicts imminent serotonin toxicity.
