Has anyone ever had their legs feel like they just won't work? I had this happen to me twice. I could stand on them but it was like I had no strength to move them but in a few seconds they were OK. I get so overwhelmed and discouraged because I use to be so active and mentally I still am. So this is so hard for me to comprehend.

Good Morning herronia,

I do have some problems that are similar. Sometimes when I stand up, the muscles in my legs feel like I just ran a marathon, just like they are worn out. The first few steps are tough but they slowly start to feel better.
I hope that you have a good Tuesday,
Kel

I have this problem often. It is like I have to get my legs under me for a few seconds before I can actually move. It happens more in the middle of the night or first thing in the morning.

I get the heavy leg thing. Hardly able to move them.Always a surprise. Like they weigh 200 lbs. each. Not walking and should be. Need motivation.

Same here-my legs are my main problem-cant stand x longer periods of time-I have to use a rolling walker with a seat for rest breaks -its awful
