Hi i've just had a nasty cold which has affected my legs. i can't straighten my right leg fully or put any proper weight on it what do you think it is?

Muscle spasms????: Doubt it is really serious but if you have a really nasty cold and have been sitting around a lot you might have gotten a muscle spasm in your lev. Try some aleve (naproxen) or Ibuprofen and soaking in a hot tub or i hot shower if no tub is available. Then use a heating pad. Hope you feel better!
