Hi XXXX,
Thanks for being in follow-up and providing details.
I am afraid to say that your clinical history does not give a clue to the recent loss of strength in your legs.
You need to be physically examined by a neurologist in order to get a proper diagnosis.I hope you understand that not all the cases can be diagnosed,just on basis of history.
I suggest you to visit a neurologist in person.
If you have any further questions,I shall be glad to have you in follow-up.
