But be aware that these symptoms are not always caused by weakness. Sometimes leg weakness may indicate a physical illness.

, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, spinal problems, or Parkinson's disease. Acute onset cerebrovascular disease

For lower limb weakness, the first thing to consider is whether it is unilateral or bilateral. If it is sudden unilateral weakness and not accompanied by pain, it is necessary to rule out whether it is caused by cerebrovascular disease, because cerebrovascular disease may cause hemiplegia. In addition, weakness in both lower limbs may also indicate cerebrovascular disease. If you have cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, etc., you must diagnose and treat it in time.

Lumbar spinal stenosis with back and leg pain

Some elderly people experience weakness in their lower limbs and pain in their waist and legs, so they need to consider problems with their lumbar spine. Lumbar spinal stenosis may cause compression of the spinal cord.

Parkinson's disease may also manifest as slow movements, and patients may feel weak when walking, but in fact they cannot take a step. This is actually due to the stiffness, increased muscle tension and inflexible walking caused by Parkinson's disease. Usually when the disease first occurs, patients will feel that they cannot take a step and their legs are weak, but they can take a step again after walking for a while.

Parkinson's patients feel clumsy and stiff when walking, and are prone to falling when going out. Family members must take good care of them to prevent them from falling.
