Soreness and weakness of legs may be caused by excessive exercise, or it may be caused by spinal cord cervical spondylosis, lumbar spinal stenosis or hypokalemia, etc. It is necessary to clarify the cause of the disease under the guidance of a doctor for treatment.
1. Excessive exercise: Excessive exercise or overexertion of the lower limbs can lead to muscle pain and weakness of the lower limbs, which can be relieved after rest.
2. Spinal cord cervical spondylosis: weakness and aching in both legs may be caused by spinal cord cervical spondylosis. Cervical spondylotic hyperplasia causes cervical stenosis to compress the spinal cord, which may result in aching and aching in both legs and weakness, as well as walking as if stepping on cotton, and feeling like it’s easy to fall down.
3. Lumbar spinal stenosis: Lumbar spinal stenosis can compress the spinal cord and nerve roots, which can cause numbness and weakness of the lower limbs and intermittent claudication.
4. Hypokalemia: diarrhea or excessive sweating can easily cause hypokalemia, which is manifested as limpness and weakness of legs, and can be diagnosed through blood potassium test.
Weakness of legs can also be caused by other reasons, such as spinal tumor, spinal tuberculosis and so on. If the symptoms are not relieved after resting, you should actively seek medical advice, complete relevant examinations, and carry out targeted treatment under the guidance of the doctor to avoid worsening of the symptoms after the cause of the disease has been clarified.
