A member asked:
Is weak knees the symptom of anything?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Weakness is most often the result of reconditioning - getting stronger requires effort by the patient to get your leg and thigh muscles strong. When this does not work, there can be rare neurologic or muscular cases. Again, these are rare. Hard work is usually the answer. Start walking, and light strengthening. You will see results if you put in the time ! see your doc for more guidance!
