What Causes Sudden Weakness And Shakiness In Legs?
4 yrs. ago, When I put my weight on left leg, down I went. No warning, never happened before. I have not been able to stand or walk since, without using walker. Have been to Drs.,had test, still no answer. Legs are getting weaker, very shakey. Afraid I will be confined to wheelchair. Do you have any idea what could cause this? Thank you very much. Liz Riley

Hello,
I have studied your case ans I think that it can be due to nerve compression in the neck or brain that you are having this problem. I would recommend you to follow these steps.
1.Get MRi of the spine and brain.
2.Also check your B 12 level.
3.You should take opinion from a neurologist. He may advised you if you will need any nerve decompression procedure .
I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
