Really stiff neck for year plus that’s finally resolved due to extremely healthy dieting. Legs just feel like they’re filled with concrete. Hard to even hold myself up most of the time. Makes walking extremely difficult.

Got spinal MRI, no issues. Doppler ultrasound of legs, no issues.


And the legs have more or less felt this way for about 10-12 months…

This.

It's very easy to get it checked at a vein center. Takes about 15 minutes.


Already did this! And tests were fine.


Then next I would check your iron levels. Also do you have restless legs at night? Last question - when you stand up too quickly do you get lightheaded?

Weak as in tired? Or weak as in not able to do what you could before? Those are very different.

If it’s fatigue, anemia?

If it’s new-onset muscle weakness, I would visit a neurologist.

Low iron and/or low vitamin D.

Very unlikely but muscle weakness is a symptom of mitochondrial disease. Usually it is one of several symptoms though.

Any chance of Lyme? Some of my worst symptoms were in the extremities.

Also, what do you do for exercise? Are you able to exercise?

Doesn’t seem to be. Back MRIs checked out fine. Seems more like a neurological type of fatigue.

Is it related to a back issue?

Anyone had this / find a medicine or supplement that helped? Need to go back to work soon and find a solution!
