What Causes Weakness In Limbs After Child Birth?
I recently had twins at age 48,(4mths old). I recently the last two weeks have had severe soreness, weakness in my inner lower arms and lower legs especially left leg. It originally started in my right neck, but now just is in the arms and legs. With 2-400mg of Advil every 10 hrs, I can function, but I cannot keep taking medication. I also notice weakness in my hands and fingers without medication.

Hello,
Firstly you can test your blood pressure because this can be related to it. Another possibility is of having a pinched spinal nerve which is causing this symptom. You can do an x_ray of spine or MRI.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
