Hi everyone,
I am having a hard time with limbs in general but one leg in particular is proving to be more difficult. If I stand or walk for a time it is an issue but if I sit on a chair of any sort, even just to try and drive the car a short distance somewhere it still proves to be a problem. Even at rest at night the limbs act up.
When I walk, I have put my hand on the back of my thigh and can feel (what I think is a tendon?) the snapping motion. I have little muscle left in the leg & the back of the thigh and the buttock area. I have lost about 10 - 12 lbs in recent months, which is a bit concerning as I now weigh about 125 lbs at 5' 9".
I can't really carry around a cushion to work etc. but would appreciate some insight as to what I can try and do to alleviate some of this discomfort etc. I am still trying to continue on with things as best as possible. My left side, while a bit compromised, doesn't seem to be as bad.
Thanks in advance for any advice anyone has.
