I Suffer From Muscle Weakness. My Legs Can Fall Out From Under Me When I Exert Too Much. Anyone Else??

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
Truro, NS

If I try to run I fall down. If I lift something too heavy my arms just quit and I drop it. Carrying my groceries in my home I can drop the groceries and fall down at the same time. I tried to lift a ham out of pot on Sunday and dropped it back into the boiling water scalding myself.

Sorry this is happening to you. It sounds like you need some physical therapy and strength training. It will hurt but is better on the other side.
