I started with weakness in my lower legs a few months ago. I couldn't figure it out! I could barely push the foot rest down on the recliner and had to push it with my hands. My legs were stiff, weak and heavy feeling.

I was due cortisone injections from my Orthopedic doctor. Guess what? The cortisone injections took care of the weakness in my legs.....so that tells me, it is inflammation or perhaps coming from my arthritic knees. My doctor agrees. I have some exercises he gave me to strengthen my lower legs. I question if Long COVID has caused this as I have more inflammation since having COVID twice.

Wishing you the best with this and praying for you a good outcome. Blessings & Prayers....

Thank you for sharing. Interesting cortisone injections were enough to take care of the weakness! I too have wondered if I had Covid and that affected my legs/mobility, as I did get sick a little after this all started for me but I thought it was just a bad cold.
