Question 1

is leg weakness a symptom of fibromyalgia? i get pain throughout my entire body then i feel sick and then my legs become so weak that i can't walk on my own.

Accepted Answer

Not really: The body doesn’t like to move through a painful area, but that is not weakness. This should be evaluated. Fibromyalgia is associated with other systemic condition such as RA, and you need to be certain that the fibro condition exists alone

Question 2

i cant urinate and leg is weakness.

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately...: Without details, a person with new changes in lower back muscle control or movement, or in his legs muscle control or movement, plus new decreased inability to poop or pee, is considered to have a spinal cord emergency and needs to be seen in the Emergency Room. Details matter, which means a person can call his primary care doctor if there is more to this story. Otherwise, it's ER time now.

Question 3

what can cause leg weakness/tiredness?

Accepted Answer

Many causes: In your age group, may consider spinal stenosis, poor blood flow to legs, such as intermittent claudication, myasthenia gravis or muscle disease, peripheral nerve issues, spinal cord compression caused by neck degeneration.  But could well be a benign problem, such as deconditioning, gaining weight, having thyroid issues, even depression  your doctor can sort all of this out.

Question 4

i have ra. can it cause weakness in my legs?

Accepted Answer

But why are you weak: You can have  weakness in your  legs  when your  have  arthritis in the legs because  you may not be  about to use  your  muscles to their  fullest but we  need  more  information. There can be  associated muscle disease, blood vessel inflamation, spinal cord invovlment and over lap syndromes can occur  with RA and these  need  evauation. Is it  truly muscle or is it  soemthing else with the ra?

Question 5

could spinal/back problems cause leg weakness?

Accepted Answer

Yes, : If a ruptured disc compressing a spinal nerve going to the leg, weakness affecting those muscles could be acquired.  Spinal stenosis, which is widespread might cause weakness in both legs.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

You would have: to have at least TWO SEPARATE disc "problems" one in the NECK ..the other in the LUMBAR (Low Back) SPINE!!!

Unlikely ...look for another explanation!

My opinion only

Question 7

why do i have leg pain n leg weakness after a endoscopy??

Accepted Answer

: It is possible you had pressure on one of your nerves to that area when you were positioned for the procedure.  Discuss with your GI team.  Leg pain/weakness can cover a  lot of territory. You cannot give us too many details. Use up all the spaces you have when you ask a question please.

Question 8

what is the definition or description of: lower leg weakness?

Accepted Answer

Foot to leg.: Described as a weakness in the muscle strength of the muscles located in the leg area, between the knee and the foot. These muscles have a primary purpose of influencing the foot's movement in relation to the leg.

Question 9

i have a strong weakness in my legs after a long walk, what can it be?

Accepted Answer

It could be.....: time to close your computer and get a comprehensive physical exam with emphasis on the circulatory and neurological systems. Cannot be diagnosed online.

Question 10

feel weakness in my legs 5 weeks after fasciotomy, should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Not sure: It is hard to tell if you had both legs involved with fasciotomy or just one.  There may have been nerves disturbed that will need more time to heal.  If you had any muscle damage from the high pressure in the compartments (ischemia), this may also need time to resolve and heal.  I would recommend a good eval by a physical therapist and let them recommend a therapy plan to help you.
