What Causes Weakness In The Legs?

My leg has progressively become worse. I can t lift my right leg without using my hand to lift it. I have to turn backwards and lift it backwards to get into my car. I have been going to physical therapy to stretch . I don t understand why this happened. Nobody can seem to tell me. The pain is almost unbearable.

Hello,

Since you are describing symptom like this, I feel you might be having lurching gait. We need to check your gait once and examine the bones and nerves to see what's wrong. I strongly feel there may be some muscle weakness which is causing you such symptoms. Kindly visit an orthopedic can ask him to examine you thoroughly for the above mentioned.


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


Regards,
Dr. Archana
