I have never had a leg go out on me this way.
I have had pain up the wazoo, and numbness, and tripping over things, but never a motor failure. (and this is 30 yrs worth of PN)
Whenever people experience MOTOR failure, I think this is serious and should be evaluated by a doctor. When neuropathies move from sensory to motor, you need to find a way to block that or you lose functions. A rapidly progressing neuropathy like GBS is treated with IVIG...and I suspect many ones with motor components are autoimmune like GBS.
Also looking at hereditary causes is important.
Falls can wreck you, and you need to be prepared for them if you have something going wrong with muscles.
