Mitral regurgitation has nothing to do with weakness of legs. Cause should the neurological either neuropathy or some disease of your nervous system, Perhaps you need Nerve conduction studies. If you have pinched nerve in spine, it is usually one sided weakness and you should also pain in back and leg.

Thanks for your comments. I posted the symptoms because my doctors to date have no cause for it. Weakness is intermittent in both legs with lower back pain.
This week, however, my primary care suggested a possible MRI of the spine. He suggested eliminating my statin pills for 2 weeks as the weakness could be a side effect. So will do both and see what comes up. Will post results , thanks again.
