Hi @gaboslastresort so sorry to hear you're going thorough this. I have been trying to get a diagnosis for years, sometimes it just takes a while to find the right dr and right tests. Have they assessed you for Myasthenia Gravis? There are a few specialized blood tests they can do. Also, 5% of MS patients have no visible lessons on MRIs, but it doesn't sound like this to me, because it started with an event. Although the anxiety may be the actual event that triggered this, not the workout, so I wouldn't rule it out. I agree with the other comment. Did you have any experimental medications or vaccines around that time? Doctors are looking the other way when people show up with strange symptoms within days of taking it, which is a sad comment on our medical system, but the stories are out there, so it's real. I also had a similar reaction to a popular antidepressant, extreme weakness in my right arm and leg wasn't able to even use my phone with my right hand. After 7 days off that, I stopped the med, and all returned to normal. Best wishes and how they figure you out. Keep fighting.

Thanks for your response. I believe Myasthenia Gravis was tested through my EMG/nerve conduction which was normal, and I have gotten so much bloodwork done (a lot specifically for various autoimmune) and all falls within normal range.
Yes, I'm wondering if the major anxiety paired with the intense leg workout just somehow threw my body into overdrive and it's not actually something seriously wrong. Just not sure if it can be repaired with only time/strengthening exercises, but I am seeing slight improvements since January when this all started like able to do more exercise reps, not such a heavy feeling in my legs, and some improved range of motion so I guess that's good it's not getting worse.
I did not have any vaccines around then. Only medication was this estradiol topical cream (not oral) but I only used for like a month and ended in November. Honestly wonder if that triggered my anxiety though since it contains estrogen and I think I am sensitive to any slight changes in my body/hormones.
