Weak Legs, Etc.
Hello, you are probably suffering from peripheral neuropathy. Caused by a number of things but possibly a light stroke, smoking, diabetes or damage to the nerves in the legs.
I am no doctor, and certainly don't claim to be one but I am 82 yrs. Old with a great deal of experience in many things in life and have learned much. Only a real health question can live that long and not retain a vast knowledge of many things, including medicine.
Besides, I have a severe case of restless legs syndrome and have taken every kind of medication available for this disease, and am now on requip (3 mg. Daily) which I wonder if it is doing anything for me, except depleating my bank real fast. I also have had a light stroke and have peripheral neuropothy which causes very tired legs and instability in walking. Can anyone give me suggestions about rls? Les
