Hello again
These suggest weakness of your hamstring and quadriceps muscle.
You may need strengthening exercises and physiotherapy.
such tremors are also seen in parkinsonism so you can consult neurologist
And if required MRI can be repeated to see for nerve compression.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care

Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.
Shaking in the legs (tremors) suggests a Neuromuscular disturbance. Tremors in legs are caused by numerous conditions like Central nervous system causes, Thyroid problems, Parkinsonism, Anxiety and stress, side effects of medicines etc.
So, a detailed clinical evaluation is necessary to diagnose the exact problem.
I suggest you to consult a Neurophysician for further evaluation and management.
Hope this information is helpful. Good day
