Weakness of thighs and inability to stand up may be caused by hypokalemia, cerebrovascular diseases, autoimmune related diseases, muscle atrophy, lumbar spondylosis, etc. Further examination can be done to confirm the diagnosis.
1. Hypokalemia: it is caused by the decrease of potassium ions in the blood, which may cause weakness of limbs, etc. Further aggravation of symptoms may cause respiratory muscle paralysis, which may jeopardize the patient’s life, and electrolytes can be checked to confirm the diagnosis.
2. Cerebrovascular diseases: such as cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, etc. If it is the acute stage of cerebrovascular disease, we can check the cranial CT or MRI, etc., and treat it as early as possible so as not to leave sequelae such as limb activity disorder; if it is the after-effects stage of cerebrovascular disease, we can cooperate with the massage, exercise, etc., so as to make the function of limbs to restore the optimal functional state.
3. Autoimmune-related diseases: such as Guillain-Barre syndrome, myasthenia gravis, etc., all of which can present symptoms such as limb weakness.
4. Muscle atrophy: mostly seen in long-term bed-ridden patients, due to the long-term lack of movement of the limbs and the emergence of wasting atrophy.
5. Lumbar spine disease: such as lumbar disc herniation, lumbar spine trauma, etc., you can check the lumbar spine X-ray, CT, etc. to confirm the diagnosis.
Thigh weakness can not stand up, can go to the hospital as soon as possible, find out the cause of the disease, timely targeted treatment.
