Suggest Treatment For Constant Muscle Weakness In Legs

Hi, i ve recently had sudden continuous muscle weakness in my legs which causes me to double over at my hips after only minimal exertion - like walking across the parking lot or simple chores around the house. I have some all over weakness but it s minimal. This began suddenly about 3 weeks ago. I thought by trying to build muscle endurance by pushing myself would help, but it s only getting worse.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have constant muscle weakness in legs. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like stroke , sciatica , pinching or compression of the nerves , myasthenia gravis or multiple sclerosis . Neuropathy can also be one of the reasons . I would suggest you to consult orthopedc surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan , MRI or blood test to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe nerve supplement , muscle relaxant , anti inflammatory along with physical therapy of legs and back . For now apply warm compresses to legs and eat healthy .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
