A doctor has provided 1 answer
Weak legs: Such weakness in legs could be due to neuropathy seen in vit b12 deficiency, alcohol abuse, diabetes among other things, but may also occur in primary or secondary muscle disease. I recommend that you see a neurologist who will order the appropriate tests in order to make a diagnosis.
