Last night when I was tired my right leg, which is the bad one, gave way and just folded up under me. This happened twice and athough it hurt a bit as it gave way it just felt weak afterwards. Is it just me? I have been having a bit more pain these few days, probably the weather :? Sue

    Hi Sue,
    It can happen and happen a lot but it is best to get your dr to see you. Before I had my decompresion my legs gave way a lot because there was cord presure and they got mixed signals. It probably is down to your neck but get it looked at and make sure it is. If it's like mine it will self right and you kinda get used to it. I have to say mine may be totally different to yours so just get checked out, but don't worry. Take care and forgive the typing my eyes are having a bit of a rest just now. Cris

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply, it does sound like my neck problem, but its very hard to tell! It just feels as if its got a life of its own! It worries me that it could happen outside, but, so far its only happend in doors. I will get it looked at, but I hate keep going back to the doctors, they're very good, but I think I'll be given a regular appointment soon, I go so often. I'm hoping soon to get a neuro appointment from the hospital. Things need to get sorted out. I feel I can cope once I know what is really going on. Love Sue

    The same thing happened to me when I was coming down the stairs and I had to sit on a step for ages before I could move. The pain was terrible for a long time afterwards. I was at home and my husband was there but I dread to think what would have happened if I had been out somewhere.
    All the best
    Joan :)
