Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Can Cause Weakness In The Lower Extremities Upon Standing And Walking?
Am experiencing weakness in lower extremities when standing and walking that starts to feel like it’s moving up my body causing, dizziness and feeling I’m going to pass out plus nausea and feeling of wanting to vomit. When I sit down or lay down and elevate feet, I feel normal. My husband had same exact symptoms last week for one day while I was out of town.
As a first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopaedic and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
