Weak knee

Hi, it’s been a while since I was last on here when my husband passed away June 2021.
I didn’t mean to ignore you all, I was just in a different place at that time.
Today it’s my day off work but I’m having a different mobility problem. My okayish leg has been giving way underneath me. Scared the life out of me as I nearly passed out, don’t usually ever pass out.
It is now very week and can hardly walk. I don’t know if it’s MS related, has anyone else had this problem?
Love Kimmyx

Might not be MS. I get twinges in my good side knee often. No lasting deterioration but of course the good leg is doing much more of the work plus twisting to compensate. Also, I’m deconditioned & heavier. How about you?

Yes, I was thinking that. My left leg is the weaker one, can’t lift it properly. Also I’m a lot heavier than before the MS!
Thanks for your reply. I’m now not sure if I can go to work tomorrow as my knee keeps collapsing, I won’t be able to walk in from my car.
Is there any excersize I can do to support it?
Luv Kimmy

Get a decent physio to identify areas of weakness and suggest a programme of muscle strengthening exercises. Knees are hugely complicated things and you need a bit of help.

Hi whammel,thanks for your advice. I will do that. This morning it’s not as bad as yesterday but weak. Gonna have to leave home earlier for work and take my time. My daughters boss has a lot to do with rugby and a physio there so will ask them.
Got to do something, as we all know our mobility is essential. Luv Kimmy
