I can relate. My legs gave out a couple times while I was infected with the virus. Now my legs are just weak (significant atrophy) and while they haven't gave out yet, I wouldn't be surprised they do at some point in the future. This saddens me greatly. I've always enjoyed hikes and walking around town with headphones on. Now I have a hard time walking more than a few blocks.

Yes, I understand. I always walked 2 miles 6 to 7 days per week, more if we went somewhere more inviting then our subdivision. After Covid "recovery" it was a struggle. Now I walk 15 to 20 minutes at a time, but getting there was a struggle. I keep forcing more steps using a cane until I pass 15 minutes, but I do it in a space where I can readily sit.
I don't need a cane to walk around, but to enhance strength under these new, and I hope, temporary circumstances.
Perhaps a cane might help you too.
