Weakness in Legs Part Two

Mine is not diabetic neuropathy but plain ol' large fiber neuropathy. But I, too, have leg weakness, and mine, too, varies by the hour and often the day. I've tried tracking when my legs feel weak vs. when they feel fine. I've yet to come up with a definitive answer – other than to say that toward evening (makes some sense, as I've been up and around all day) and sometimes, too, in the morning if it's a morning following a substantial workout with my home-health therapist (that also makes some sense). Still, sometimes my legs 'surprise' me: they'll feel strong in the evening or the mornings following the previous day's workout. 'Tis a puzzle. –Ray (@ray666)

I forgot to mention in my earlier reply that I also have arthritis in my left ankle, knee, and hip. This arthritis only adds to a more generalized complaint of leg weakness. A septic wound in that same left foot (fortunately, it's close to being healed) has had me in socks-only for the past four months. Since I'm a long-time wearer of orthotics in my shoes, I've had to go without all this time. The lack of the corrective influence of orthotics has only compounded my git-around woes. –Ray (@ray666)
