A member asked:
What is the reason for the decline in my legs to the point they will not work or hold up my weight to walk? also my legs will not open up, stiff.

Leg weakness: Really not enough information here to answer. Could be neurologic or vascular by your description. This should be evaluated as it is definitely not normal for your young age. Do you notice changes in your arms as well? Is there any tingling or numbness. What medications are you using. Do you work where you are exposed to toxins. Have more questions than answers at this point.
