Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you are suffering from weakness and involuntary movement in the legs . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like multiple sclerosis , diabetic neuropathy , pinched nerve , disc problem or side effect of some medicine . I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order blood test along with nerve conduction test along with CT scan and MRI of spine . Doctor may order nerve supplement along with anti inflammatory , physical therapy , . Doctor may also recommend surgery in case of severe disc problem . For now drink plenty of water and eat healthy , healthy diet will help a lot . Avoid caffeinated drink.
