Why Is My Left Leg Harder To Lift Than My Right Leg?
just curious, I have a hard time getting down on the floor and then having to get up is difficult. Also, my left leg is harder to lift than my right leg. It almost seems really heavy at times. I don t have pain in the hip or anything. Do you think it could be arthritis related?

Hello,
The symptoms can be related to arthritis. I suggest to do some examinations to help through the diagnosis. I recommend a complete blood count, rheumatoid factor level and ERS level. Meanwhile, I suggest to use anti inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen 400 gm to relieve the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
