What Causes Unusual Weakness In Leg?
Whilst visiting friends yesterday the husband of,the couple experienced cramp like symptoms in one of,his legs which wore off. But a few hours later he attempted to stand up and experienced weakness in his legs and had to remain seated. Needless to say it was a scary experience for him and for us. Should he see a Gp and get advice?

Welcome to health care magic.
Thanks for history.
I would like some more details though like his age,whether he is suffering from any medical condition like diabetes,hypertension as these conditions can result
in weakness.
But i think he should immediately visit a general physician or a neurologist for personal check up as weakness in lower limbs can also indicate stroke.
So would need detailed clinical examination.
Thanks.
