I can't believe it took me this long to answer this thread.

Very klutzy throughout life, especially as a kid. Although I was a very cautious child, I still fell down the stairs occasionally and bumped into walls trying to read and walk at the same time. As a young adult working minimum wage jobs, I was constantly getting hurt. But... not as much of late. Last year, at age 40 I broke my own finger running it into a chair... No lie!! It has yet to heal, or it's healed wrong. I'm not sure. Since then, I've been much more careful. :(
 
As a child I was a gymnast, an ice skater later, a rock climber and ballroom dancer after that, but recently its been important to take very good measure of a set of stairs. However, as I work through things and relax, its coming back. Hang in there friends, your body remembers. :D
 
Heh heh. Yeah. My mother used to make fun of me because I'd always trip and fall into the wood pile by the wood stove in our house. Even as a martial artist and yoga practitioner, I was notorious for falling down--unless I was fighting, and then I was like lightning.
 
Core is off center

Psycologist advises this is typical for PTSD sufferrers. Everything is related and stored in the gut! She will be giving us a series of exercises to do in the next session.

Interesting!
 
butterfingers as clumsiness

Items fall out of my hands. My visual thinking gets out of control. I think I've put something on a shelf, so I let go, and it is an inch from the shelf and falls to the ground shattering. When I used to drink coffee, I'd be standing around thinking and chatting like everyone else- but maybe with a little more PTSD oriented thinking. My brain would send the resources that should control the hand holding the cup to some other place and my hand would just open- sending the cup with hot coffee straight to the ground. This happened several times. I also accidentally knock dishes against the side of the sink and faucet while I'm putting them in there- breaking many. I have migraines as well- something about the visual processing center in the brain maybe?
 
I´m clumsy, not always, but most of the time I tend to be. Sometimes I feel like and elephant in a porcelan shop, trying to be careful but still end up bumping into someone or something. I´ve always been like that, except when its something I have been practicing, like the short period I played basketball - I was pretty good for my age but I started off horrible.
 
I am a lefty too and I have to say i have always been a bit clumsy and uncoordinated. and as an adult I am even worse. I Twitch and am unsteady on my feet too. It really sucks!!!!!
 
I drop so much stuff it ain't funny. Constantly getting hurt. Fall down, bump into stuff. People get a kick out of watching me sometimes. :)

I am reviving this thread because I am getting worse and worse in my cluminess. I simply do not have any straight toes anymore, I've broken all of them just trying to go around corners or walk by furniture. I've broken glasses, dishes, mirrors, favorite cat statues, all kinds of things.

This is getting worse as time goes by and I was wondering if anybody else has noticed an increase with this in their life? Plus I would lso like to see if anybody can figure out why so many of us are clumsy. I just don't get it!!!!!
