could be due to vitamin deficiency

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic.

The weakness you are getting could be due vitaimin E deficiency.

I suggest you to take multivitamin tablet containing Vitamin E for 15 days and see the response. If the sensation and weakness doesn't subscide then you may consult your surgeon and get examined for blood or nerve supply problem.

I assume you don't have any dilated veins over the legs.

Hope I have answered your query. If any further queries are there I would love to help.
