Maybe That's What Happened To My Knee. Or Maybe It's Just That I Run Weird

This woman, an athlete, suddenly started walking funny. She hadn't rolled her ankle, she didn't have an injury, she just began to be unstable. For years, and through many operations and treatments, they had no idea what was wrong and what to do about it. Finally, someone figured it out -- it wasn't an injury, it was a rare neurological condition. And it's incurable, though there are things that help mitigate the problem. It prompted the woman to change her career to help others with similar problems. It's always an interesting story when someone has an inexplicable condition and medical sleuths have to do a deep dive to figure it out. (Washington Post)
