Could Spinal Cord Contusion Cause Shaking Of Legs After Sex?

Im 39 yr old female, 5'6", 108lbs. I was injured a 8 years back, Was a blast injury resulting in hittin my head on the top of ceiling of bradley compacting my spine. was at that particualr time, diagnosed with a spinalcord contusion. army has said Im completely healed.
Yet ever since then when i have sex, my legs litterally shake & buckle. I cannot stand sometimes from 3 minutes to 25 minutes, they are soo weak. for this after sex the position is irrelevant as no particular position triggers it. It can occur even if i am laying on back without alot of movement.
During sex it can at time occur when i am on knees. whether straddle or otherwise.
Why are my legs soo weak?
