What Causes Pain And Weakness In Left Leg?
I have pain and weakness in left leg. When I step up on a stair it feels like my leg will not hold me. I am going to physical therapy for sciatica and doing exercises but it feels like it is more than the. I am 72 and have always been physically active. I also work part time at Macys and have to stand and walk for many hours. Could this be something else.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, looking to the history and compliant given I would say that it could be knee condition and that needs to be ruled out too, till then you can try knee brace and try no to bend the knee joint too much hope this information helps.
