Brief Answer:
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation therapy
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I have gone through your history
I would advise you to undergo Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) therapy in order to rebuid strenght in your leg
It is a non invasive technique used for muscle atrophy treatment
It is placed on ones skin over the affected muscle and it elicits a sensory effect of decreased pain or a muscular effect through changes of intensity, frequency and pulse of the current which helps in regaining strenght in affected leg
