Hi Everyone,
About two years ago, I had a relapse that affected my ability to walk long distances. I never really recovered from it. Now I am able to walk about a mile, but that's difficult. I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on how to rebuild strength to improve walking?
Thanks so much for your help.

The elliptical has been mentioned quite a bit on here as it helps with balance and drop foot and would be a great way to build endurance and strength for your walking, i believe.

Physical Therapy helped me regain some stability and the strength in my legs after relapses.
Pretty much what helped my legs was the working with elastic bands for just 10-15 minuets every day.

I thought the PT advice was all talk, until I tried it all myself.

I hope things work out better for you walk.
