Yes! No pain, Jeff, for which I'll remain eternally grateful, but …

… weakness? Yes, indeed: thighs, calves, quads, the whole shebang; in both legs, too, equally. And it's worse toward the end of the day. Time and again, I've heard it said that it's important for us to do all we can to maintain good leg strength. I've been doing just that (stationary cycling, sit-to-stands, etc.), perhaps not as much as I should––or could (I've been thinking of buying a leg-press machine, but, when I see the prices for good quality machines, I think, Mmm, TOMORROWs a good day to buy one … ).

A few weeks ago, in some other post, I asked if others had begun to doubt the payoff when you've got PN and are doing all this added exercise: Does PN rob our muscles of their ability to respond properly (get stronger) to added exercise? If the answer to that question is no, PN doesn't rob our muscles of their ability to respond to exercise by getting stronger, then the message to me is: Don't give up! Keep exercising! However, if the answer is yes, PN does rob our muscles of their ability to get stronger (or at least to some degree), then the message to me is: Don't give up! Keep exercising!

Curious, eh? Either way, the solution is the same: Get back on that exercise bike and keep peddling!

Let us know, Jeff, would you, if anything new you try to help your legs recover proves to be working? I, too, am on a hunt to recover decent leg strength.

Cheers!
Ray
