Brief Answer:
Hello,
Detailed Answer:
I read your complaints. See the leg weakness and thigh pain could be due to muscle strain where the muscles are stretched too far due to overuse or overstretch. Sometimes even muscle cramps can give rise to such issues. It can be related to dehydration( lack of water) or electrolyte imbalance( lack of salts in the body like sodium, calcium and potassium). Sometimes wear and tear of the joints of the hip or knee can lead to such problems. Also, diabetes is one reason for coming up with these symptoms or rarely some nerve compression.
I will suggest that you should take plenty of water and a good amount of electrolytes like lemon water or ORS solution and observe. If things do not improve then you should get yourself investigated. You need to do sugar levels and tests for electrolytes along with calcium and vitamin d. You may even need to do an ultrasound doppler of the legs as sometimes some clots in the legs may be associated with these symptoms. Then we will be able to reach a conclusion.
I hope your doubt is adequately cleared. If anything else you can write back.
Thank you.
