Several months ago I noticed weakness in my upper part of my legs. I couldn't get off the couch or out of the car like I normally did. I saw my dr. He did some blood work but nothing. I also see a pain management dr for my L 3 4 and 5 but he didn't think anything either. But since it has gotten worse I can't even get off the toilet without using that and the sink to hel myself. Can't believe I'm sharing this but anyone have any experience with this?

Do you have a doctor that you see for you L 3, 4, and 5? I would suggest making an appointment with that doctor (if you have one) who treats you for this.

You may need to be checked out by a neurologist or a rheumatologist.
