Weak Feeling in Legs

Yes - you are having a problem with the nerves in your legs. I would suggest you see a "neurosurgeon who specializes in spines" (not an orthopaedic surgeon, as they are not concerned with the nerves like neurosurgeons), as the pinched nerve is most likely originating from your spine. The chiropractor was a good start. Since you didn't receive any relief, then I would try one or two more times with caution. Think back... have you injured yourself at all? Don't let the doctor dismiss the numbness in your legs, as it is NOT normal and the longer you wait the more damage you can do to yourself. Nerves are very sensitive things and need to be protected. Figure out what relieves the weakness and be prepared to tell the doctor. Write down your questions and make him answer every one. Google your symptoms if you don't know what questions to ask... You need to be your own advocate. Go back to your doctor and get a referral if necessary. If not, call and see a neurosurgeon at a large hospital nearby - tell them that you are having numbness in your legs and that you are very concerned. Don't let them make you wait two months for an appt. - beg to be seen sooner! They will push you off if they are able... don't let them!

My husband has permanent nerve damage due to the amount of time it took to correct the problems caused by an injury at work. A normal x-ray will NOT show nerve damage. You must have an MRI or another type of x-ray that I cannot think of what it is called. It is a lot clearer and actually shows the discs and fluid that separates the bones in the spine. Damage to the nerves can run anywhere along your back from the neck to the tailbone. From this experience, I have learned that the back in definitely not something you mess around with. As already suggested, seek advice of a neurosurgeon for proper testing to find the cause. Not all problems require surgery but finding the solution will not be possible if you do not find the cause. BTW, my husband had first sought the help of a chiro as the stupid place that work sent people to said he just had a strained lumbar (pulled muscle). This chiro said that a good chiro will not do anything without truly checking out the problem first. Sometimes you can feel a nerve is pinched depending on how and where but in my husbands case-extreme back pain and already feeling numbness in his leg-he ordered an MRI.

If it's painful, let them check for a sciatica pull. It sounds like your nerves are pinching form somewhere else and radiating in your legs, but a nerve doc should be able to diagnose.

Have your blood sugar checked. My father has low blood sugar and if he gets hungry or goes a while without eating something he gets very weak. Also, he has to watch what he eats. He eats healthy because if he doesn't then he also gets weak.

Make sure you're not dehydrated! Absolutely, some of the other suggestions already given may be possibilities, but you could save yourself enormous time, money, and worry if there's any chance you might be dehydrated. Spend a few days (up to a week, maybe) drinking lots of water and cranberry juice and no soda/coffee/tea. I got like this during my last finals week in college because I was so stressed out, I wasn't eating much and I was drinking coffee constantly. One of my dorm mates finally made me see the nurse when i fell over in the kitchen washing dishes! Dehydration can cause some serious problems of its own, so even if it's "just" that, it's important to take care of it. And yes, if that's not the problem, seeing a doctor is most likely the next step.

Yes, make sure you are drinking enough water!
Also, were your iron levels checked at the doctor's? When I get anemic (after a very heavy cycle) my legs feel weak when walking.
Also, consider protein intake in your daily diet. If you are not taking in enough protein (lean meats, beans, PB, dairy....) muscles feel weak, because protein is so important for them.

Just something to look into... I have MS and my symptoms started in a similar manner. I kept thinking I must have pinched nerves or something but no amount of adjusting helped. Of course your symptoms could be completely different so you might want to google MS symptoms and see if there are any other similarities. No matter what, it would probably be a good idea to see a neurologist. They will likely do an MRI of your brain and spinal chord with which they can see if there is any inflammation or damage occurring there. Again, just something else to consider especially if you have no reason to think you might have been injured.
