Honestly today I was doing some shopping and it kept feeling like my knee joints were just going to bend the wrong way and they were so shaky!
It could be a new medication you are on (if any) or maybe lack of quality sleep? Sometimes just thinking there is a problem somewhere can cause it, especially in an anxious mind as it seeks any little thing to affirm that something is wrong when their isn't.
The vast vast majority of any leg pain or weakness is usually due to stress, or slight overworking of the joints. You will likely have times where you aren't thinking of the legs and noticing can bring phantom pains and symptoms back.
I will say its strange as I had the same thoughts about my knees today lol! 😂
Hope you are well, take care.

They say that beginning antidepressants may make symptoms a little worse before it gets better as your brain adjusts to the medication and balances the chemicals and such.
I can relate to thinking about all sorts when I get anxious thoughts. My mind starts racing about a lot of scenarios and I have realised over the years I have suffered that when I am anxious I tend to bring the emotions I would feel from these imaginary scenarios into reality, as in, the now. So when my knees felt wobbly I was getting thoughts of what would happen if I fell over in front of people and how I would react to it.
Brand changes are common in repeat prescription but remember there are very strict laws regarding medication and what they can and can't put into a medication. Other than maybe slightly different fillers the active ingredient has to be the same. I have friends who use Prozac and have all reported positive benefit. I was on it but all I got was headaches after a few month, but they say one SSRI doesn't fit all.
I am planning a trip out today for the first time in over 3 weeks and right now I am definitely anxious and it always affects my stomach, which causes worry about maybe needing the toilet when one isn't near. They are all from anxiety and it loves to twist everything to the worst scenario and convince you its going to happen that way.
You will have happy days and sometimes we do not realise the times we are content and satisfied with what is going on in life because having panic is much more noticeable. Stay well and happy and I know it is said a lot but keep those awful thoughts as thoughts and just tell anxiety to STOP! At the end of the day it has absolutely no power over you and most if not all anxious thoughts never manifest into anything.
Always here if you need someone to talk to, take care.
