A member asked:
Whenever i go for a run/ sprint after a few meters my legs will suddenly freeze and stop moving, any ideas on why this happens?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Legs freeze: Sounds like You have a nerve compression at spinal roots Lumbar 4,5 and Sacral 1,2. Check this out because you are young. Back pain does not have to be present. This can be serious if untreated. I am sure you want to run for many years. See a spinal orthopedist or neurologist. MRI and nerve conduction studies are good diagnostics, Good luck
