Hi Lift,
I guess you should try to differentiate between actual weakness and a "feeling of weakness". With feet flat on floor lift up on both the balls of your feet. Any weakness? Again with feet flat on floor lift feet off ground keeping heel on floor. Any weakness there? Can you balance on one leg? Is it relatively the same on both sides? How do you feel going up and down steps? Small fibre can cause many funny feelings and I have had a feeling of running water down my legs which made me feel wobbly and weak but no true actual weakness. Same with numbness. I have migrating numb spots all over but no true numbness. Only a feeling of numbness.
