Any Problems With Muscle Failure In Legs?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Thursday or Friday I was taking a shower and started neeling nauseated, so I sat down in my (late) mom’s shower chair. When I was ready to stand up again to rinse off, I could not get out of the chair. I tried kneeling on the floor - nope. I crawled out of the shower onto the bath mat and a towel and still nothing.

In retrospect, it felt like my… read more

I lose feeling in my one leg all the time n it will not support my weight because it has gone paralyzed. Can last a few hours to half the day.

They dont know the cause but it is suspected that I've got a nerve trapped in my spine that moves from time to time rhat rhey cant see on the scans as yet.

I get something likenthis from time to time in my left leg. I lose complete use of my leg, I mean to the point that it is like someone cut my leg off. But mine will happen for anywhere from the day to not having use of it for months.
With mine it thurned out to be a pinched nerve in my hip, and if I am on my feet to long it will happen. I have seen me be on my feet for 4-6 hours and everything be fine, but then the next day be on them for 20 mins for a shower and lose all use of it.
I would talk to the dr about it if it happens again.

Not eating good can make you weak but I don't think it would cause your legs not to work. Maybe try.taking some supplements to get the nutrition your not getting. I take several but maybe try a multi vitamin and calcium to strengthen your.bones and magnesium will help the muscles. I would let your doctor known what happened and see what they think. Please let us know what you find out. Hugs
