I understand your concern for your health condition. Here you mentioned very limited about your current situation. Sudden development of both legs weakness could be because of many reasons. If it is not possible to consult your neurologist earlier then at least go and see your physician so he can evaluate you in detail. I feel it is more of some infection causing leg weakness. Still consult your doctor soon to find out. Wish you speedy recovery.
