Leg Weakness! And how to recover? And success with movement

I STARTED MOVING! Leg Weakness Update!
Hello! Wishing everyone reading a wonderful day! I recently posted a post on my leg weakness a few days back. And I just started moving more. It's only been a few days but I definitely feel more leg strength. Now my problem is the NERVES. I lose feeling in my feet. Mostly heels. And my legs start to burn some. I was laying in bed for weeks. So now that I am moving again whatever is pinched in lower back is giving me some hell. I have to keep moving. And pray that my body levels out. It's been rough. I might give myself a few days of slowing down. But in all honesty I just wish I could get up and go. It's frustrating. Appreciate anyone reading and if you have any insights or advice. My last post everyone gave such helpful advice. Truly grateful for everyone.

agreed, just keep moving 🙂 over time it should help tremendously. just go slow and gentle, and listen to your body
Are you doing any low back exercises? I have to stay up on the low back mobility movements or I suffer for it. It makes a huge difference.
Congratulations, @bennettrory. I merged your update with your original post so others can see your update.
It looks like you're making great progress. Have you considered working with a physical therapist to assess what is going on in your lower back?
You sound like me. I have neuropathy and Parkinson’s diagnosis. My legs for walking is getting worse. Frankly, I want to give up and just sit in a wheelchair instead of struggling to walk with a cane. My balance is getting worse also. I am currently working with physical therapy to help my strength and legs. They found land exercises too painful for me so now I am in water therapy. I LOVE the water exercises. Perhaps if you have access to a pool it would help strengthen your legs.
