Allright, this happened to me the other night when I woke up to pee, I stepped out of bed, felt my foot hit the floor, but as soon as I put weight on the leg, nothing, nada, a big fat goose egg. I hit the ground like a tonne of bricks. I wasn't too worried, I asked around the office, and it has happened to others before. That is until today, when walking down the stairs, same thing, the leg completely gave out. (I managed to catch the railing). It's like I loose all strength just above the knee. Anybody know what is happening here?

you need to go see the chiropracter...might be a relapse of your herniated disk, or a pinched nerve....used to happen to my husband all the time

Nope, wrong leg. When my back acts up. it's always down the left leg. Also, there is no pain associated with this new curiosity, it's just total lack of strength. Glad to read where your husband is doing better BTW. Hope everything goes well for you guys!
