Hi,
Weakness in the legs may have many causes e.g electrolyte imbalance, low calcium, muscle or nerve problems and low blood pressure. Besides these, there may be other causes of weakness as well.
So it is very important to be evaluated, this may need detailed examination of your limbs and certain tests. So please your doctor as soon as possible for proper evaluation and management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
