When Walking Quickly/swiftly, Legs Get Tingly, Shaky And Weak. Had Muscle Relaxers, Anti-inflammatory. Any Suggestion?
When walking quickly/swiftly my legs get tingly and shaky and weak.... was on vacation and almost fell on the tarmac trying to walk to the stairs to the plane. My legs feel very heavy and I have difficulty walking, I had thought it was a pinched nerve and had muscle relaxers and anti inflammatory prescribed but it hasn't gotten any better what might be going on?

Hi there,
Thanks for your query.
Your problem can be due to either compression over the spinal cord or, nerves emerging from spinal cord; narrowing of the spinal canal (spinal stenosis).
MRI of lower spine would reveal the exact cause.
Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with me, order required tests, and- based on the reports- will prescribe suitable treatment as advised.
