Hi There
After going through your query I understand your concern.
I would like to tell you that two main causes of legs weakness on walking is spinal stenosis or peripheral artery disease. If your neurological evaluation came out normal then vascular evaluation will be required.
Kindly get an ultrasound both legs or CT Peripheral Angiography done and consult with a Vascular Surgeon / Cardiologist for further management.
Hope to have been helpful.
Kind Regards
Dr. Navneet Bansal
