What Causes Recurring Weakness In The Lower Body?
After sitting at my desk for an hour or so, my lower body sometimes feels very weak when I rise and I have to lie down. I m not dizzy, my legs are just very weak. This usually passes within 5 minutes. I have had lumbar and thorasic MRIs and seen a neurosurgeon who said it is NOT a spinal issue, but may be vascular. Any thoughts?

Hello,
I also think it can be a vascular issue. You may need to visit a vascular surgeon. You may need to do an angiography to see the conditions of your arteries. Possibly arteriosclerosis or arteritis may be causing your symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
