What Causes Severe Weakness In The Legs?

Yes, I am 78 years old and have a problem whereby I experience excrutiatin fatigue in both legs after my initial defective Stryker hip sugery. Before I could not walk more than 40 feet and I need to sit down for the fatigue to go away. Now it is 10 feet or less. I use to ride a indorr bic that was low to the ground for 30 minutes with no problem. Likewise I did aqitic in the pool with no pain until I got out of the pool. I have been checked by my back doctor and neurologist and they can find nothing related to cause the above. I even done an EMG test. Any Idea as to what the above is attributed to? Eli DeKasha

Hi,

It is related to hip surgery. Consult the surgeon who has operated for post operative checkup and advise on treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
