What Does Imbalance In The Legs Indicate?
In March I was sick with what felt like a flu, but no fever, vomiting or diarhea, just no appetite and very tired. In April as I would walk, my knees would buckle. This continued and then affected me from the waist down with a very unstable gait and legs giving out. I am 65 had back surgery and 2 knee replacements as was doing fine. I am concerned it is a neuro-muscular problem and it is getting worse rapidly. I don t even know what specialist doctor to go to.
