    Are you eating a well balanced diet and taking steps to stay in shape. Try protien shakes they help,with energy. But if your legs are giving way that’s another issue. Sometime low in iron is a big problem with weakness low vit B, B complex and minerals.  ask your doctor to do bood work to help identify the symptoms your having. It could also be a neurological weakness that only a doctor can determine. Your best bet would be to go see a professional your doctor to help sort this out for you. Wishing  you well .

    Could be so many things! With me it is a combination of osteoporosis, disc degeneration, scoliosis and lumbar issue probably coming off a nerve from one of the discs. 

    Fibro causes pain and my son has that at the moment. He feels that even when driving.

    Your bloods may turn up a marker to help you solve this.

    all the best.

    Sadly there are so many conditions that make walking a major problem. Leading up to the 2916 election I was playing doubles tennis 3 times a week. Then somehow my quadraceps would not respond and gave lots of pain if I kept on. I finally went to my GP and the X-ray he ordered showed all my cartilage gone from right hip joint. Even at age 86 he said I could get a hip replacement. But I evaluated my conditions and could not do it with heart disease (now heart failure) as well as kidney disease and osteoarthritis making a spinal anasthetic impossible. The dangers for me having a general weretoo great. So I’m left with the bone on bone pain making walking a trial. I use Tramadol and Tylenol once or twice a day plus some Gabapentin. I am still looking for another solution.
