I have alcoholic neuropathy. last week I had a severe gout attack around the knee. This really compressed the nerves and caused serious flaring in the left foot. During this time i couldnt lift my left leg when laying down mostly due to pain but I felt at then time due to weakness as well. I have had 'concrete legs' in the past and the symptoms came and went,,

Now the gout is nearly cleared up Im still having a lot of weakness in my left leg with some difficulty walking and some slight trembling. the leg actually feels weaker and sort of feels like it wants to buckle. Using a cane steadies this . Also Im feeling some sort of dull pain in my hip left buttock area.

have also noticed slightly less muscle tone in the left leg but it may have always been there.

Laying in the recliner with legs flat it takes more energy to raise the left leg with some very dull pain in the left lower hip buttock are and also dull pain in the left knee (residual gout)

Any thoughts? I havnt hit the gym in years and rarley use leg muscles unless walking which I have cut back on by 50% at least

maybe its time to build more muscle mass?
edit

actually last 6 months have cut back on walking 80% . just realizing now it was depression creeping in.
