@ray666 I am no medical professional, but I experience the same and I'm in PT for balance, they have me doing leg strengthening exercises. My only guess is that because of the PN in lower extremities, it can affect the muscles as well...thus weakness.

I just graduated from PT a month ago. I go to either water aerobics or strength training each week. These classes are great to learn balance! Yoga is also good. I also continue to do my PT exercises on days I don't exercise. I have found my balanced has improved greatly!
I was diagnosed recently with PN.
My calves are solid! Thigh muscles are strong too. I am not to afraid of falling now.
I hope this helps! Pat

Ed (@njed), Because weekly PT became too $$$, and because I'm limited (by my PN) in what I can do, I devote some attention every day to leg strengthening: stationary bike, stand-to-sit, stand climbing, etc. It's odd: my legs don't feel unusually weak (no problem stationary cycling); it's evenings when my legs feel weak-ish (my PN?). ––Ray (@ray666)
